First impression before switching - nice design, professional, good features such as the "no one in front of the unit - I switch from" sensor (although this is already resents if you take now and then just a few minutes sitting quietly in front of the device). Clean design, chic, too thick frame to be about something to stylish but does not want a timeless design, too. And one Eizo has supposedly many years with him (if that is the case?)
First impression after power - würg what colors, quickly switch to SRG. Is this supposed to be white? Soo Dark at full brightness? Illumination also perfect but because I have long found no device in which this was not excellent. And Eizo itself says - then you need to buy something from the CG or S series. Since the image is top illuminated. Sure, at double the price. Otherwise: slightly tinted, somewhat dull, would have expected more from the device. So my first impression.
A little later: calibrated with SPYDER 4 (newly purchased) the changes were marginal compared and felt robbed the calibration the device even slightly brilliance. Only reasonable way that one was me suggesting the brightness to dim to 70% has SPYDER 4 this time little torn when a LCD - I ask myself why I am doing buying me time and again. In my device rather pointlessly - that may be different from the print results. Visually but went the brilliance the basement anyway something affects again a floor below and the colors were impure.
Still later: Okay. I compared, next to HP 27 inch and Dell positioned 30 inches. 30 inches is too much in size. Color was poppy-peppy and vigorous at Dell. Contrasts clean, also the HP a definitely more marktschreierisches image. But then I did my colleagues one by one in a long sequence. Lo and behold, the EIZO with its slightly paler colors seemed much easier on the eyes and ultimately more natural than its competitors, the SHOW made, but which one wants to give any long sequence in which one looks nonstop in the screens. TOO MUCH. In literally Blender.
Also in terms of readability and crispness "of the Eizo was permanently pleasant. The coating is discreet and interfere little, images are naturally what me another graphic confirmed that otherwise gets in not high end LCDs pimples. They attested that at this screen in relation to the can range work best no hum, no flicker, a very slight buzz in completely white areas with text but I still had the angeblic can only hear dogs in each LCD, and also I hear the dog whistle Say.. I am terribly sensitive . But it does not bother!
A solid screen if not on the HIGH CLASS LEVEL the known normal Eizo. (More on that later)
Much later: the Eizo software that came with the PC zerschossen me, immediately get rid of it (now there is an update on the site but without me friends, I am cured). Sound features I do not use, so something is also said discreetly silly for such a device, but who wants it gets it precisely.
The unit itself provides little weakness, however, has to contend with atriums something and the color purity is at most a 2 + for super illuminated and pure white as pure black without engraving is different. Probably one can not expect more for the price. Or. Eizo will no longer provide for the price ...
CONCLUSION: I reserve the Eizo. To work he is a happy medium and although the big brothers brothers as CD and S series are certainly much better, I can not afford this and for my activities the unit goes when it comes to balancing act by (no print media for posters etc ...). Eizo's statement this LCD would be a OFFICE SCREEN is signed by me immediately, but it surprised me that Eizo adorns herself with this little precious spring. For the money you will actually have a real job machine in no way can the one alone. Actually, the child does not do well. He is in all good but not very good. Eizo has probably tried here a panacea to tinker in 27 inch segment which is on the one hand provide much of the mammon at the same time the high price series is not to be dangerous.
Mission accomplished. It is true that the Eizo has the usual round diseases of current devices such as color impurities, atriums plus an image that would not call the German housewife in Blödia market certainly as pure white and brilliant.
Ultimately, however, the total pacts is the most coherent (under the present mine) and the device is well suited for all areas where it is in my use of animation on web graphic to video editing and office area.
We are all, I also degenerated somewhat in the first test of a new LCD and want more shine and brightness than is good for us. After getting used to the one must give the device (and one never has in a decision in discounters) one understands the Eizo itself something thought the color and light values define so. More than meets the eye! The ECO MODE but I would turn as it contributes significantly to darken the image and to me the whole thing was too bleak.
A big minus the Eizo gets only one point from me and that nearly cost him his 4th star. The Eizo Support I called at any time for days because of a problem, everything was what I got "EIZO SUPPORT speak after the signal" and never arrived feedback despite many tries, including telephone and email address of deposit. Lousy and a PRIME PRODUCER not worthy. Makes you wonder what a help the promised 5 years warranty, if you do not get someone to serve listen.
But, to suffer among the blind the Eineinhalbäugige? No. Therefore 4 stars. Room for improvement is still not enough, April 2013, brings more Eizo new LCDs out, even 27-inch monitor. However, these are well priced are above the device here. And at some point you have to buy myself time.
The HP I lack a bit. He had a WOW image, but it is too gaudy and thanks senseless idea the OSD when the unit omit a nogo. The Dell has overstepped the magical hurdle of meaningful things in SIZE overmatched in my eyes. If I had not thought of but 30 inches is too much for a device that is on the desk in front of a, and the distance is already defined in a certain way with me 80 cm depth). But for many valid only SIZE MATTERS - therefore my view is attending a subjective consideration.
Means: I can recommend the 27 inch Eizo. For the money, it is my opinion that the model as another reviewer said before the bridge best riff. Good in all, no major weaknesses. Can Eizo so but low budget? Because for Eizo the street price of around 720 is almost dubious? I repeat the Yes and no. Because Eizo was for me always for devices the most radical price range but the conditional uncompromising good products. Here is not the case. The Eizo is good but not free from compromises. Presumably, however, Eizo will finally have easy and more from midprice user area. This works like this. Only is just immediately Eizo Eizo no longer equal in my eyes.
Incidentally, the little brother, the 24-inch model that was fabulously well discussed at PRAD I sent back immediately. It corresponded in his image and color quality is not what the 27er rendered in approach was even darker, completely different in the color display (also after SPYDER) and impacted the letters blurred (resolution fit and graphics cards had recognized the right power and displays directly)
Is now a 27-27 solution in my studio from my planned solution 27-24-24. Let's see how the second Eizo 27 arrives. If the instrument is completely different in color and brightness update I like this report.
Best Regards.
UPDATE: What is important to mention - the Eizo 27-inch monitor developed until a few hours his image in full quality. At the beginning of the image in some specimens is extremely yellowish, mainly noticeable when you have a Eizo hanging for some time on the power stand by, but with a little patience also the newcomer then moves a to the same level of its contained already in action Boliden. Say: My 27 inch model have now do their job here in terms of image no more series dispersion and exactly the same picture / color scheme.
By the way: Who wants to see if his machine is really new, this can determine the menu. There, the term of the monitor is logged, exactly. Therefore, I recommend also the people, the equipment only for fun times Hollen into the house as far as possible to avoid long runtimes, since a value of more than 3-5 hours certainly have a (legitimate) reason is the price no longer fully reimburse in return - because a "test as it would have been possible in a retail" no longer corresponds to. And that's a good and understandable. Therefore, necessarily immediately after unpacking view indicating the device already record this fact, if the dealer subsequently criticized this. (With me everything is not the case, but I have a colleague who works in a shop and gave me this note)
