Unfortunately, I also share Andrew's experience. I'm desperate to
get that Artisan out of my studio as I need the space. But upon visiting the
Eizo booth at 2 MacWorlds, 1 DRUPA, and earlier this week at PMA, I've left
disappointed each time. Sometimes they show the Eizo side by side with the
Artisan, both calibrated, proudly touting how well they match. Well, they don't
match. Its not the luminance difference which affect colorfulness and contrast,
its color cast. They can't compellingly demonstrate matching the white point and
gray balance accuracy of the Artisan.
At PMA they
were showing something similar, only with the Artisan crippled, as Andrew
described. Yes, in this case the Eizo looks quite good with decent smoothness
and neutrality. So the point is the Eizo LCD/calibration system may well be best
of class. And in the absence of a direct comparison to a reference
grade monitor like the Artisan, the Eizo is more than satisfactory. But if you
need a dead-on predictor of final printed output or other critical color
judgements, I'm sorry to say, I've not yet found an LCD/calibrator up to the
job. I so want to be wrong about this...
<< The
Eizo booth had an Artisan
there, without a hood, without the enable cable and
calibrated with a 3rd
party colorimeter to show how it's not much better (or
maybe they were
better) then the their product. That was a completely bogus
exercise. These
guys may be onto some cool stuff but they don't see to have
the confidence
to show their products honestly IMHO. At $6300 is a lot of
dough!>>
