EIZO L568 vs EIZO L578

    hello,


    i would like to hear some opinions on the following thoughts ..


    i am planning to buy a new TFT and i really want a *good* one.


    i am not a graphics designer so i do not care about photoshop and images at all.


    as for games i do play some but rarely (like 3-4 per year) and i mostly like rpgs or strategy.
    The only FPS i ever played is doom and medal of honor heh (yes i never played Quake)
    I am going to use the monitor for programming , reading a lot of texts/books and internet surfing.


    im sure that there are other monitors than EIZOs to meet my needs (and anyone who wants to contribute on this pls be free)


    however my main question is about the difference in between the two flat panels of L568 and L578.


    i would prefer an opinion by someone who actually used these monitors ..
    im worried if the L568 is very slow or L578 has worse display ..


    i couldnt find ANY store here willing to let me use one of these :(

    To find a *good* one is rather hard. :P It has to fit ones need. Unfortunately there isnt a best one. Even if you spend alot of extra money you might get very good colors but low response time. Its hard to choose.


    The difference between your listed displays is that the latter, L578 one seems to be a 17" variant of the 19" overdrive Eizo L778 reviewed on this site. Its quite different from the L568 only when it comes to moving images. Static they should be about the same and for that quite good.


    I'd say the L578 could be the really *good* one. It costs more and it has the specs. The only 'but' is that it is a rather new type of technology. There might be a problem with it that hasnt been noticed yet. On the other hand its cool to be first too. You gonna break your friends like nothing with that monitor even if they have some 8 ms TN panel. Its going to be fast and still have rich colors and great viewing angle.

    hello,
    thanx for replying to my questions.


    im not sure that i know what new tech is implemented in L578 ?
    is this monitor the first one that uses that tech and since its new (its not even available in my country this month) , one can not have any real feedback.


    on the other hand does the L568 has any big ghosting issues? I am asking that because i was not able to see it myself.


    and i have learned that specs have nothing to do with real life performance most of the times.

    Hehe. I dont know if my opinions did qualify as an answer. You're welcome though.


    True. Finding feedback on it will be hard. I did read somewhere that the technology isnt completely new. The overdrive technology has been available in TFT TVs before. But monitor usage has other types of demands on them than TVs so its hard to do comparisons.


    Some people are more sensetive than others to ghosting. Me myself find it ok with 'blurring' if its uniform, a more natural fade kind of ghosting. But when ghosting becomes too much skeletal 'ghost'-like I dont like it. It gets annoying to scroll in text etc.


    I havent seen any L568 myself. I've seen similar panels. That is MVA panels with 25 ms response time. I didnt think they had much of a ghosting problem either. On the other hand I never tried them for an extensive time periods. Generally most gamers thinks a monitor like L568 is WAY too slow for playing games. Most reviewers find it OK to watch movies with.
