Eizo s2231 vs s2431

    Hello


    I want to buy either the s2231 or the s2431, but I don't really know which one is better. I've read both of the reviews here on PRAD, but I can't really make a decision on which monitor has the best imagequality and colorproduction.


    I'm a multimedia student and I will mainly use the monitor for Webdesign, Photoshop, Programming, Graphic design and a little bit for animating, 3d and video editing. I will also use it to watch movies, but I think 22'' is big enough for that. I will not use the monitor for gaming! (as I never play games)


    Could you perhaps help me in making my decision? Which monitor is better (if not looking at only the size).. I really don't know which one to pick, as I don't care about the difference in size, but do care about the image quality and colorproduction.


    Thanks in advance!
    Kind Regards, Aeonis.


    P.s. my german is very bad, so please answer in English :)

    I had the same doubt.
    In the S2231W the color temperature is slightly different in the left and right borders.
    I have not seen it with my eyes but purchasers says it's a very small difference.
    On paper the 22'' win thanks to better contrast and WCG lamps.
    The 24'' has an higher brightness (450 cd/m2 vs. 250 cd/m2).
    I've chosen the 2431 because I work with two applications at the same time.
    I'm very happy with it.
    Great image quality, perfect tuned overdrive, cold lamps, silent like a fish. :)

    So far I have found the following differences between the 22'' and the 24'':


    The 22'' has a contrast ratio of 1500:1, while the 24'' has a contrast ratio of 1000:1.
    The 22'' has a brightness of 250 cd/m2, while the 24'' has a brightness of 450 cd/m2.
    The 22'' has a response time (gtg) of 8 ms, while the 24'' has a response time (gtg) of 6 ms.


    I also found out that the 22'' inch is indeed a wcg (wide color gamut) monitor and the 24'' isn't. Is it true that only because of this last fact the 24'' is alot better for me because I am mainly interested in web design?


    I've heard that a wide gamut monitor has a different range in color and that the steps between the colors are a lot bigger.. This can be very treacherous, because a website that you design on a wide gamut screen might therefor look completely different on a normal screen.....?


    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not a graphic professional...
    The user "traveller" seems to be well informed on the argument:
    Eizo S2231W-E W.I.P. (Prad.de User)


    Italian buyers says they are very happy with S2231W for photo editing and printing.
    The only minor issue is the horizontal uniformity.
    This can explain why Eizo combine WCG lamps with the Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) starting from the SX2461W...
