After thoroughly researching the Eizo 2436 was concerned. Since I have a Quato DTP94, the new monitor is calibrated. When Eizo I have decided for the older version because the newer stray light problems to have. The older model is but a little more sparkle IPS show that I was already accustomed to the NEC and I'm probably not as sensitive.
Attaching the foot was a bit strange. Despite the order of the old model, the new foot is. Also the monitor was made in 2014 with a panel of 2011. So it seems that Eizo manufactures both models in parallel. It is connected via the DisplayPort input. Per DVI is still a Bluray player are involved. But more on that later.
The first settings I have measured by DTP94. At first the brightness of 140 cd / m² fixed at 38%. Gamma should be set for a target of 2.2 to 2.0. That had prad reported. The white point I put like to 5800K, 6500K me because is too cold. The setting for the white point can be adjusted only in 500 increments. The parameters can be ignored but because it goes better than the adaptation of the RGB channels in the extended menu. My Settings are red 100, green 96, blue 93. In order for the white point is taken almost exactly to 5800 and carried out the calibration. At system startup, the ICM file is loaded on the graphics card. It can be seen that the colors on the monitor do not change. This is because the hardware adjustment menu already provides an optimal color result. According prad however the gray balance is significantly improved.
The automatic brightness adjustment of the Eizo is unfortunately useless. The screen will be reduced m² at twilight on 34 cd /. This is completely unnecessary because the monitor uses much less energy. Thus, I now have the brightness at 120 cd / m² fixed at 31%. The image is very well-balanced and neutral. The IPS Sparkles is minimal.
Except for the automatic brightness adjustment I have turned all power-saving parameters. So, the screen turns off when there is no signal. The presence sensor works perfectly (3 min, Emfindlichkeit 5). One does not pre-screen rumhampeln so he constantly returns to idle state. The power consumption is 17 watts at 120 cd / m². That's a very good value.
The operation of the menu I find very stressful because I constantly push the wrong button in the semidarkness. But that does not make it so often.
The DVI input to a satellite receiver and a Blu-ray player to share. Unfortunately came from two no picture, just the error signal error because the Eizo can only display signals with 60 Hz. I simply set to NTSC my Bluray player and thus the image is displayed correctly. However, the satellite receiver must be left out. One could incorporate such devices via an adapter from HDMI to D-Sub. It is questionable whether the analog signals with 50 Hz lead to stuttering. They should be able to see but.
The firmware bug of the first generation has not yet occurred in my device. If you manually converted the signal to a different input and then turns off the monitor, the settings of the first input to disappear. I've been testing and in my device settings are after switching off via a switch or power strip still exists.
Unfortunately, the first screen had a pixel errors. That's why I changed this. Eizo gives himself no dead pixels warranty. Also, Eizo is silent on this subject on its website. You do not even experiencing the pixel error class of the device. Only dare formulations about the top quality of Eizo monitors.
The second monitor was defective pixels. Since admits probably Eizo empty his warehouse and the skin ollen panel out. And the third monitor (another batch) had then a sub-pixel defects. I did not expect from Eizo. Absolutely disappointing.
+ Overall image quality
+ Image Adjustments menu
+ Very low power consumption
+ Motion sensor
+ No operating noise
+ For image editing in sRGB very suitable
- 3 screens had Pixelfehler
- DVI only with 60 Hz
- No HDMI
- Useless automatic brightness adjustment
- Loss of contrast with lateral light
- Annoying cable management
