I also have to admit that I was rather uncertain even after the order of what to expect for. If I remember correctly is from the 8 previous reviews 5 more or less devastating for the manufacturer. So the package came with a little delay at the end of last week. I must say that I was very positively surprised by the really well-balanced and brilliant image. I run the monitor via DVI-D cable to a GeForce GTX 550Ti graphics card. The picture does not have colored surfaces and is almost completely obscured in Schwaren area. (EIZO testing program for all possible Bildschimmodi can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website). When setting I AutoEcoView very pleasant not to say ON ... Adjusts perfectly.
The speakers I have not tested, because to me is on my PC a standard HiFi amplifier with boxes. However, my expectations were not especially high, which is from these small speakers for his to elicit a "sound" ?!
All in all I can only recommend this monitor. Fortunately, the exact opposite of the previous reviews. It seems that Eizo has tightened the final significant.
3 year warranty on the panel and 5 years on the remaining electronics and the on-site one must not forget the small very positive addition. I would buy the monitor, even if it costs a few euros more at once.
