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.
