Just wanted to say, I recived the 245T yesterday, so far very impress, makes my 20.1 formac look small.

For anyone who is interested why I picked the Samsung over the Eizo, well it was a tough choice. I really liked that monitor. It appears IQ is a tad better than the Samsung, but Im not sure one could tell without mesurments?

In the end I decided the extra space of the 24 inch as well as the lower price would be very nice. In the class of monitors I was looking at, the Samsung seem to be the best bang for the dollar.

Sorry for so many questions but looking at the reviews I see that the NEC LCD2690WUXi is just slightly over my buget, but close.

Prad's test format has changed so harder to do a side by side comparing with the other two monitors.

How would it compare, seems only weakness is the balck value, compard to the other two, I don't know what in real life that would mean to me, as far as viewing color and b/w images?

I know it's a bit silly trying to compare three monitors from 22-26 inch, but all three are in my buget, or close enough that I can manage.

Again the main intent editing Dslr images in Adobe RGB, any other abilitys of the monitors are just extras for my needs.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

I have posted this question in the forum, but see I did not ask in the proper place so will repost.

Size 22-24 inch wide screen. 24 inch would be nice but not at the cost of IQ
Buget $1,000+- U.S

Have good selection of on line stores

Main use is for editing images from a Dslr in Adobe RGB space and printiing
on an Epson R2400. Second use general web surfing

Own a Spyder calibraitor

Monitors on my list so far

1) Eizo S2231WE-BK

Very good review from Prad.
Test results seem to be slightly better of the two monitors Im looking at.
Appeal Eizo Reputation and 5 year warranty, very flexable stand. Discreet design, non distracting.

2) Samsung 245T

Very good review from Prad
Appeal 24 inch slightly less costly

Negitive to me, distracting glossy piano lacquer finnish.

Also open to other choices that I may have missed?

Thank you for any advise.

Hi Rinaldo

What I ment by my last sentence was that both monitors recived very good ratings.

They seem to be very equal in the abilitys Im intertested in.

Both show accuate color handling of the Adobe RGB space, Id need to look at the test results to see which might have an edge.

Only two things jump out at me. The Samsung goes a bit brighter, but the Eizo appeals to be acdequate.

The other is Contrast ratio, there the Eizo comes out ahead somthing like 1400/1 vs 850/1.
In real life use Im not sure if I would see a difference.

Will admite Im pulled by the Eizo name and the appearece of the monitor and stand,which is in my view more flexible and dealing with my Formac, which has almost no adjustment. At time time I purchased it, I did not appreciate how difficuilt that makes for getting a good viewing setup.

All that said unless things like the contrast ratio really makes a difference, Im leaning towards the Samaung, since it's a bit less in price and even if I don't need the large screen the extrar size would be nice.

Hi Rinaldo,

Thank you for the responce.

Without having worked with other Lcd's at different resolutions, Im hard press to really know what it would mean as far as viewing images.

As regards sharpness or percived sharpness, viewing the full image and at 100%

Would I be lossing some sharpness with the Eizo?

I know Eizo's reputaion for being top quality monitors for Graphics and of cource the excelent review, Im wondering if it has somthing going for it that the Samsung does not?

Hello,

Came across your site a week ago, very impressive!
Most detailed monitor reviews I have seen.

Im in the market to replace a 4.5 year old Formac 2010 20.1 inch with resolution of 1200 x 1600.

My interest is photogaphy using a Dslr shooting raw and working in AdobeRGB and at this time printing on an Epson R2400.

I have and use a Pantone ColorVision Spyder calibrator.

Games and Dvd's on the monitor is not important, Im not saying I would never use the monitor for that, but my decision needs to be based on performance for photogaphy work.

Im torn between the Eizo S2231WE-Bk and the Samsung 245T.

Could anyone offer any views or throughts on which might serve me better?

Thank you for any advise .

Forgot to add price in the U.S is Eizo $737.00 Samsung $645.00 So price between the two is not an issue.
