A great monitor
I have just brought one of these on the strength of this review and another, and am thrilled with the quality of the display. When I ran Sypder Pro to calibrate it it seemed to make no difference to the display.
The supplier was DPSB and despite my miskeying part of my credit card the screen arrived the next day. Top class service. I would use them again if I had enough money for another Eizo screen. :)
