Eizo S1910 or alternative?

[Mystiqq]

Any thoughts/experiences about this panel?

Good color reproduction and over all image quality is a must since i would be using the LCD, more or less, for graphics related tasks (photoshop, CAD, etc.). Only seen one review (link below) on this and not seen a single comment anywhere.

Since this LCD isnt the "new kid on the block", im bit worried about how well this display compares to the newer panels out there with similar price tag and quality. Also the price on this thing is "decent" if the quality is as advertised. Lowest price ive seen here (Finland) is little under 500?, that about 632 USD.

At least one funny thing about this is that the "ArcSwing" stand seems to be equivalent of 100? here, at least one vendor was selling this AS version +100?. Thats one expensive piece of plastic if you ask me, since the hardware itself is exact same...

Here is one review that has Eizo S1910 in it.

Considering the prices of high-end 19-inch LCD monitors in finland (I also live in finland), I would also consider the 20-inch monitors with 1600*1200 resolution. I used to own ViewSonic VP930 and now I own VP2030b. For me the bigger resolution has been really worth it, especially while working with graphic related tasks (image editing, 3D-modeling and animation).

Thanks for the reply.

Yea, 20" would be nice, but i feel that its a bit "pricy"(?) for me.

I was considering the VP930 but after reading some rather "uninspring" review(s) and comments about issues i decided to not to bother.

Another option i was considering was the Samsung 970p which also has been rather confusing with reports that it has dithering of some sort. Also the 970p seems to be almost the same price as this Eizo S1910 and is a lot better in design with actual buttons, as im little sceptic about software-only control for display not to mention its coming from people who "specialize" on graphics displays.

Compared to picking CRTs, this sure seems little over complicated to me. Half the time you cant even be sure if the information the manufacturers are giving you are actually correct or just some new "technical trick", not to mention how many times the information they are giving is just not enough.

Im still trying to figure what the actual dead-pixel policy is with Eizo products, the text i read on their website was not exactly clear, for me at least.
