Per P. Posted August 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am considering an upgrade, but within practical and financial limits. Realising there are superior products, I am interested in the verdict from those who either considered or chose one of the smaller (17-19") Eizo S screens, e.g. S1932. Thanks for helping, Per.

MV8 Posted August 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2009 Yes, Eizo is the way to go. However you should probably consider at least the 21 inch. anything smaller then that with tool pallets in your software your screen real estate gets very tight very quickly. best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatter Posted August 30, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2009 Eizo is generally recognized as "the way to go"; but a few months ago I was casting around for my first non- CRT graphics monitor.. I've worked for years on a Sony Artisan CRT, and have become very spoiled. The Artisan still profiles and calibrates fine, but.. being a 6 yr old CRT; it will die.. probably sooner than later. Sony no longer makes the Artisan; nor do they make an LCD to replace it.So, when I asked Andrew Rodney for a recommendation between the Eizo or 'equivalent' LaCie; I was surprised when he immediately strongly recommended an NEC 2690WUXi2 with their SpectraView II calibration software. There are several ways to get it.. bundled with their branded (X-Rite) puck and SpectraView, or stand-alone. Since I already had an X-Rite Color Munki, and was planning to use it as my calibration device; I got the stand-alone version... then bought the software separately from the NEC website. Andrew was dead-on right. It's a fabulous monitor. Substantially less expensive than either the top Eizo or LaCie, and... frankly making informal comparisons on a friend's Eizo... there's really no substantial difference. NEC dosen't market it as aggressively as LaCie or Eizo, so it may be harder to find one. Calumet here in NYC ordered it for me... was delivered right to my studio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_j Posted August 30, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 30, 2009 I too have an NEC 2690 (older version without the 2 on the end). I do like it and agree that one needs the NEC software for proper (and easy) calibration. Both work well with my existing Eye 1 puck. Cmatter- Interesting comments on the Eizo comparison. I am considering a second monitor and was thinking of an Eizo CG or LaCie 700 series as an "upgrade." I'll check out both at Photo East in the fall but may well get another 2690.

jaapv Posted August 30, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 30, 2009 Yes, Eizo is the way to go. However you should probably consider at least the 21 inch. anything smaller then that with tool pallets in your software your screen real estate gets very tight very quickly. Not if you dump all the palettes and toolbars on your second (old?) screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per P. Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 3, 2009 It's hard to keep you guys downmarket My question was specifically to get a feel for how the lower priced displays are perceived. So the better Eizo's and the NEC's are out of my bracket. I also don't want anything bigger than 21" as a personal preference. So, back to the original question if you don't mind: How good are the low-end Eizo's? Thanks, Per. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
