Steve:
In the sense that less viewing angle color shift is better, the CG19
will be better simply because it is IPS and the CG241W is S-PVA. How
much better is the CG19, I couldn't tell you. This criteria is
somewhat subjective as well as challenging to measure (lots of
variables including the human variable). It's also been a while since
we've tested the CG19, which has been around for years as a model
(without change). Eizo's IPS panels are the CG19, CG211 and CG221 and
have viewing angle specifications that measure 170* by instrument (not
the same thing as what we see though).
Some of the difference can be explained by the technology: IPS
illuminates pixels at multiple angles while PVA is a “vertical” light.
This accounts for potential shifting depending on luminance, ambient
light, reflection, and the human viewer(s) involved.

Rick,
How would you compare the viewing angle of the Eizo CG222 to the
CG19? Does
the CG222 have a greater viewing angle or at least equivalent to the
CG19?
I don't have the budget for the CG221 but want to replace our CG19's.
Steve
The View Angle Color Shift phenomena you describe is common with
PVA or
S-PVA and Wide Screen technology. CHROMiX has tested many monitors
and found
that even so, the CG241W still exhibits the least amount of this
View Angle
Color Shift of anything comparable in its class. Some other models
that we
tested (not naming names/brands) experienced significant shift with
only an
inch off viewing-center in any direction.
The best current technology for lowest View Angle Color Shift on
LCD screens
has been IPS or preferably S-IPS technology (so far). None better
than the
Eizo CG211.

I've just taken delivery of my first EIZO Color Edge CG241W monitor.
It's
beautiful, and after setting it up and profiling it using my DTP-94
and
Color Navigator, I settled in happily. However, as soon as I got up
and
walked away, to the side, I noticed a drastic shift in color. This
does not
happen with my CG211 monitors, or my Apple Cinema Displays. This is
unexpected, to say the least. On-axis, the color is excellent,
matching my
proofs on my GraphicLite box quite closely, but off-axis the color
deteriorates very rapidly. I thought that this was something that
had pretty
much been solved in high-end LCDs, but apparently not. Or did I get
a bum
one? Anyone else noticed this?
