I've been using the Eizo Flexscan more than a year now. Great
monitor but complicated to calibrate. I tested the Eizo ColorEdge
some weeks ago, and its so much easier to calibrate. To get a good
result on the Flexscan I had to test around a lot to find the best
gamma setting, the ColorEdge doesn't seem to have that problem. I
run it at 2,2 and I get an even, smooth grey ramp.
Compared to the Apple Studio Displays, I think that the ColorEdge
has a clear edge. The only monitor where Ive seen better results is
the Sony Artisan, which is better in the rendition of the darkest
parts. Apart from that, its a close match. And you still have the
advantage of the LCDs.
That's basically what I'm seeing too. I have a ColorEdge 21 and an
Artisan sitting side by side. The main drawback of the ColorEdge is
that the blacks are much weaker than on a CRT (this tends to be true
of all LCDs). But it's bright enough that if you don't have an
Artisan sitting beside it, your eyes will probably compensate.
It's the first LCD I've learned to trust-it has much better
uniformity than any other large LCD I've seen, and the internal
10-bit LUT makes for very smooth calibrated response.
