Most accurate sRGB 22-24" monitor

Hi there.

The last few weeks I've been reading up on monitors. I know what I need, but I'm still in doubt about three models. Maybe someone can help me decide?

I will be using the monitor most of the time for office, but sometimes for photo or color grading, so I want absolutely accurate color in sRGB, but only sRGB. I won't use Adobe RGB. I don't know any photo printers that use this, so I don't really see the point. Wide gamuts mean unaccurate color...
I'll never play any game or watch video other than the occasional youtube vid, so I don't really care about response times. Size, around 22-24 inch widescreen.

I guess that excludes TN monitors...

I like the Eizo Flexscan EV2333wh. In the prad.de review, for the sRGB calibrated monitor all the deltaE deviations are under one deltaE. Which is very good. But, it's only 16:9 (1920x1080), not 16:10 (1920x1200), and I'm afraid a 16:10 one would be a lot more interesting for office work (for example, to see A4 pages next to each other at 100%, I'm not sure that is possible at 1920x1080). I might be mistaken, but I think the test with the 2 A4 pages next to each other is not executed in the prad.de review for this monitor.

The Eizo Flexscan S2243wh is 16:10. The prad.de review on the S2242w, page 14 nicely demonstrates this advantage. But, the calibrated to sRGB profile has a blue spike of 5,7 deltaE, which is a lot when you compare to the EV2333w. Also, the brightness isn't quite that even spread, according to the review. And apparently the reds are too high. If only the EV2333w would have 1920x1200 it would be perfect...

Then there is also the HP L2475w. 16:10. According to the prad.de review it scores quite badly when calibrated to sRGB, there is a cyan spike at 10 deltaE, and a green one at 9,8. But, there is another site (tftcentral.co.uk) that reviews this one as the most accurate monitor they have encountered yet (average deltaE less than 0,3 when calibrated to sRBG). Now I'm confused... They do use Lacie calibration hardware and software, as opposed to prad.de, which uses a mix between X-rite and iColor, but I don't know if that is the reason.

If anyone could shed some light on this? And if there are other interesting monitors that have very accurate sRGB, preferably 16:10, around 22-24 inch and about in the same pricerange, by all means...

So I guess it's a choice between color reproduction and 16:9/16:10. And then there's the thing about deviating results between different sites..

Now I'm doubting between the EV2333 (16:9) and the S2431w, which is 16:10. Both are non-wide gamut monitors, since I've decided these wide gamut things are not suitable for me. The EV2333 is newer and has better specs, contrast ratio, etc, but it's just the 16:9 thing that bothers me. I don't understand why anyone would prefer 1080 over 1200. We're talking at least 3 cm here. What to do what to do....

Both are more or less equal in imaging quality?

Thanks, but I've decided to go for the EV2333.

The dimensions of the 1920x1080 EV2333 are 51x28,7cm, while the dimensions of the 1920x1200 S2431 are 51,8x32,4cm. It's 3cm higher, and about 300 euros more expensive. Are the extra 3cm worth that? For me, no.

Besides, the EV2333 scores better than the S2431 on color (% sRGB), black level (cd/m²) and contrast ratio. While the NEC 2490WUXi2 you mentioned does compare with the EV2333 on excellent image quality (except on black level and hence also contrast ratio), it also is about 300 euros more expensive. And for me, those few extra centimeters are not worth it.

The s2431w is on the international eizo site () I think, and here's a webshop that sells them:
There's a promo right now, the s2431w only costs 699 there. But, it's a Dutch shop. On (which is German), it's 819 euro.

But I think the model is out of date (which is why it's no longer on the local eizo sites) and will soon be replaced. If you want my advice, I'd say get the 24" NEC, which does look excellent, for your pc and the EV2333 for the mac. And tell me how the compare!
