  Quick question
  Does anyone here on OzBargain own one of these?

    Geez, we rave about dell 24" monitors being on sale for ~$300 or so, I doubt anyone here has one of these lol.

    If you do happen to have one, either:
    a) their company paid for it
    b) they bleed money through the ears

      b) they bleed money through the ears

      It is all relative. We used to pay more for a smaller, lower-res CRT. And we were grateful.
      Work paid $10k or more for a nice workstation monitor.

      This model above however looks like a bog-standard 22" TFT. Not even IPS (or is Amazon mistaken?) Not even full-HD.
      Ordinary specs, aside from the shroud.

      both with HDCP support.

      Anyone who lists that as a feature is getting seriously desperate.

        There are different types of TFT LCD's, TN, PVA, IPS are the main three IIRC. The CE series are either S-PVA or IPS.

        Also HD is irrelevant for photography work. (HD video editing maybe but photography not so much. And I say maybe because after adding all those editing toolbars the ratio of the monitor is thrown out the window anyway, it's only good at 16:9 for a fullscreen viewing) The 16:10 ratio was the industry standard back in 2010 when these monitors first made their appearance and definitely was the standard when it was being designed. It isn't until late 2011 did 16:9 full HD monitors become the bane of the consumer world.

        Panel type is not everything. It's entirely possible for an Eizo TN to look better than a cheap brand IPS.

    I have a better one than this, an HP Dreamcolor 2480ZX. $3k brand-new pricetag.

      Great monitor - s@#t price:

      The good: The HP DreamColor LP2480zx has impeccable color reproduction and includes direct black level control.

      The bad: The HP DreamColor LP2480zx forgoes direct color and contrast controls and can't compare, featurewise, to its competitors. Its price is a pill that's hard to swallow.

      The bottom line: The HP DreamColor LP2480zx is a performance monster that costs too much for the features it offers.

      We paid $600 for our ex-trade display EIZO monitors. ?? 3K ?? Definitely not a bargain :)
      (Wonders - what did YOU actually pay?)

    My wife is a professional photographer and we bought her two of these. Now, we would never buy anything else.

    For serious video and photo editing - these are the gold standard. There are premium Dell and HP models that come close, but EIZO remains #1.

    It's not about the resolution or speed - it is about colour calibration, accuracy, and reproduction.
    These were never meant for gaming.

  GBP 548 / AUD 842 excluding delivery costs here.

  The closest price in AU would be below $1600 delivered:
  http://www.discountcameras.com.au/discountcameras/view_produ…
  if it is for business then you might be able to claim GST(if registered)

  $1k for this monitor is almost a regular price overseas.

  No way I can see here 50% savings.

    Seeing as you have to add 300 pounds for shipping from that website, its not really comparable as this price ($938.91) is for delivered. However that does seem to be the best local price from discountcameras (wasn't able to find them on a quick search of shopbot, getprice etc.), so I'll update my description accordingly. Cheers :)

      From my experience the shipping costs from UK to Australia costs can be very close to those within Australia (either from UK Ebay or normal stores). It is not complicated to double check the shipping costs with the seller or some freight forwarders. It still can save you heaps.
      I did not state that discountcameras has the lowest local price as I spent below 5 minutes in internet for a quick look. It was just on of those below the claimed local one.
      My suggestion is to use google for a quick local price check. Local 'shopping engines' such as Shopbot, Getprice, Myshopping etc show only what they can be paid for. Most of us know how that business with affiliate/referral links works, right?

      The amazon deal definitely is not bad for Australians. Just add 'delivered' in the deal description to avoid possible misunderstandings. Cheers :)

    There's more to the quality of a monitor than resolution and size… That's a very basic way of assessing their value.

        If you're int he market for something like an Eizo then the Retina display would be a pretty bad choice, it doesn't come close to covering Adobe RGB.

  I have one the earlier version of this. It is a professional screen specific for visual arts re photography. It's big thing is the colour accuracy as it can accurately capture 95% of the RGB colour space and therefore give a more accurate reproduction. It also has built insystem for calibrating the display.

  For most photography it isn't completely necessary, but if you are a regularly working pro who requires accurate colour reproduction then a screen like this or similar is required. For anyone else it's a waste of money

  Weighs a bloody ton!!

  Wow Eizo… we used to have their monitors at work in the … er… 90's I guess… not seen an Eizo for years, forgotten they even existed. Certainly used to be excellent CRTs
