Maarten,
Other people on this list may disagree with my opinion but I don't find the
23" Apple Cinema Display, even the new one, to be on par with the Eizo GC21.
I have a CG21 myself and I can tell you I find it very even, from edge to
edge, a quality I find very important in my work. I was at a client earlier
this week, a client who's bought one of those new 23" ACD. So it was a very
interesting test. Yes, once calibrated and profiled (it so happened we used
Monaco XR Pro for this task and got good results), the colors on that ACD
were quite good, no question. But it was plain to see that it was never as
even as the CG21. I'm talking about "vertical bars" across the screen which
marrred the ACD, no such artifact on the Eizo.
It's possible my friend got a bad ACD but from what I've seen, I'll stay
with the Eizo, thank you, even though I have a narrower screen to work with.
