Just saw that the price for the Eizo S2100s dropped 100 euro recently to around 760 with pixel error check.
Considering to run them in a 3x 1200x1600 setup.
Tell me what's a better investment of 2350 euro (incl shipping) into screens.
I'm currently on two slowly aging S1910s (released at the same time as the 2100s probably....but for some reason nobody builds bigger 4:3 screens anymore) and looking to get a true multipurpose setup.
This requires:
good aspect ratio for movies (~2.5:1 to 2:1).
reasonable response time (happy with the current 25 ms on overdrive PVA, not super sensitive)
good color (programmable profiles, ideally oversampling LUTs, good factory sRGB calibration)
good contrast at low brightness
reasonably slim bezels (no more than 5%)
matte! (especially with many screens, I can do without some reflections in my peripheral vision)
bonus: remote controllabilty (my current Eizos can be calibrated using the screen manager software, and switched on and off via a keyboard hotkey. With three screens this becomes even more important), ideally able to assign profiles by screen/application (did I mention that screen manager is awesome?).
I guess an excellent 30 inch screen could challenge. But the 30 inch Eizo has two fans, so it's right out. 30 inch NEC looks good - still, aspect ratio is not ideal for a cineatic experience.
Don't really have the room currently to install projectors either.
And if you start buying out those last models that are still in stock, I'll hunt you down and eat you.
