Eizo L768 or LaCie Photon20Vision II?

  • Indeed. You won't get a decrease in quality when using 1:1 resolution. The picture just gets smaller, but the sharpness of the native resolution remains. Only if you interpolated to full screen the quality would suffer.

  • But does every monitor support this feature or only some?
    I've found another option: Apple Cinema 20"... The specs seems very good and I read it's a very good monitor... What do you think about it? I don't like the panoramic view for games, but if it has that 1:1 thing it would be good.

  • The LaCie has this function.


    The Apple has the same panel as the LaCie, so no big differents between those devices.

  • If you want to discuss once again the whole problem, we have today our chat Link or ask me by ICQ.

  • No need to discuss the whole problem again =)... Just a few more questions...
    What are the differences between the L797 and the CG19? The specs are exactly the same, and the dimensions and weight as well... Maybe the only difference is that the CG is pre-calibrated? In Germany the L797 is out and the best price is 1029€...
    I noticed that you have a 19" TFT monitor. What do you think of the dot pitch of 0.29 (that's the key of the problem I tried to explain some days ago, the thing that on a 19" everything seemed bigger)?

  • The difference is deep inside: it´s the electronic and adjustment-system. That makes the difference between the both devices in my opinion.


    Oh, I have and had some more TFTs so ask what you want to.


    Of course is the resolution bigger cause of the 0.29 dot pitch. But: everybody has a different point of view. In my opionion, 19" and 1280*1024 resolution is nearly perfect for office, games, video and grafic. As soon as we talk about professional programming or grafic works, we should talk about a resolution of 1600*1280. But that doesn´t mean, that a pro graficuser or programmer cannot work perfect with a 19" device: it´s simple what you prefer. You see, it depends on your eyes on your favourits.


    I think you should test the LaCie.

  • Unfortunately I can't test the Lacie... And the Eizo neither... Those are very rare products here in Italy and I have to buy them without seeing them. No shop has them. I'll go to a mall to see some 19" with 1280x1024 res to have an idea and then I'll decide.


    I think:
    Eizo: best image quality out there
    Lacie: higher resolution


    4ms in the response time don't make a difference in my opinion.

  • The response time makes a different if you take a look at the panel.


    An IPS Panel with 25ms is faster than a MVA Panel with 16ms.


    I don´t think that you will be sad about the LaCie, really not.

  • Why do you think it's better than the L797? They both have an IPS panel, but the Eizo has better constrast and luminance and it has a 10bit color correction. It's only 4ms slower but as I said I think it's not visible (and plus these are what makers declare).

  • Oh sorry, my big fault! I just was on the wrong train or better: I opened the datasheet of the 767 :(


    You said the pros of the 797; I saw the beta device last year in Japan and falled in love.


    If you really want to spend E1000 and you think the 0,29dot pitch is good for you: buy him. As I said, I´m happy with a 19" device; I would buy rather two 19" TFTs than one 20". I can order my work better and still got enough power to play games cause of the lower resolution. That´s only my opinion.


    But if you prefer the resolution of 1600*1280, the LaCie seems to be a really good choice.


    So it´s up to you: what you like more: 1600*1280 with 20" or 1280*1024 with 19". That is the question you have to ask yourself.


    I don´t think that you make something wrong with one of those TFTs.

    You got it! I just have to choose between the 2 resolutions (and the dot pitch). I'll go somewhere to watch a 19" TFT, but as I said before, I have a bad memory of 1280x1024 on a 19" (the Neovo is what I saw); but maybe I'm wrong. After that I can easily decide.


    As regards the price, they cost almost the same and I want a product that will last for some years...

  • Both will fit for some years.


    Check the resolution in a store and then we will go on with our discussion.


    I hope I´ll hear from you! ;)

  • Here I am again! =)
    In these days I made some good things...
    I spent some time with a Samsung 910N and I really liked the resolution on this 19".
    And, a friend of mine bought the Lacie! So yesterday I went to see it... I think that's a very good monitor with a viewable angle of almost 180°, good colors, good black. With 1600x1200 you have plenty of room on the desktop but the fonts' size is maybe too small. I also tried an fps game on that (this game, just a test) and the response time was amazing, with almost no ghosting. The game was at 1024x768 resolution and still looked good interpolated, while when I put it at 1:1 it looked too small on that huge monitor. I also watched a Divx and looked good, with no ghosting. These are my impressions.
    BUT: I still think that the L797 is better, the LG.Philips IPS panel is quite "old" while the IPS panel on the Eizo is brand new; the Eizo should have even better colors than the Lacie. My only doubt is the response time of 20ms... Could it cause some ghosting?
    I hope to have some advice from you so I can finally order the monitor! =)

  • The 20" panel is not old. Who told you that? It had a work-around for some months. You liked the lacie? Take it ;) It´s my short advice!


    Sorry that I didn´t answer to your post, I was out of business for some days.

  • No problem Totamec ;)!
    I decided to wait for the L797 (it will be available in January)... Am I wrong?
