    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    Hehe, I'm probably a fussy customer: "I want my money's worth!" Though seriously, if Eizo cannot guarantee delivery of advertised specs, then they should lower them. Although, supposing this is a general phenomenon with many units under-performing, I can imagine a battle between Eizo's...

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    Unfortuntely I have no access to a computer with dvi. I did try it on 3 different computers, two with integrated Intel cards and one with an Nvidia Quadro. Contrast ratios were similar. The quadro squeezed out +20 on average, but nothing revolutionary. Maybe I should return it and try the...

    Asus PB248Q

    I think you'll be happy with either monitor. I have the ev2436 and it also is a nice display. Imho the hype against the ag-coating is unfair, because though visible I don't see it at normal viewing distance. Like you, pwm and connectivity were important factors in choosing. I needed vga...

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    The ev2436 has two user modes and I calibrated one to 6500K and the other to 5000K. I happened to be 5000K when I measured the contrast. 6500K would have yielded slightly better contrast since the RGB sliders are a bit higher. For comparison the factory default gave a color temp of 7167K, so...

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    Thanks for the info ninogui, I learned something! :) Having looked more at both photos and monitor I've noticed that the falloff is actually smoother than shown by the camera. Also, moving a white cursor onto the screen makes your eyes adjust, while moving your head causes the glow to...

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    @ CrabJuice I think you're right. There may be some bleed in the right side which accentuates the glow. I found some videos on youtube with ips-glow, and the characteristic looks similar. Have asked Eizo for their opinion.

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    Hello again, and thanks to everyone for their generous input. @ undertaker2k8 It's full brightness. Taking a cue from you, I've done another set at 140 cd/m2, calibrated to 6500K, gamma 2.2: 1: Center (distance: 3 feet / 91 cm, ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/5, 140 cd/m2) 2: Top-left 3...

    Eizo EV2436 (photos inside) - Bleed / Contrast / Color Smudge?

    Evening all, Since Monday I've had the EV2436, which is my first IPS (except for my laptops 12" display) and I'd like you people's opinion on the display. Bleed: Are we seeing ips-glow or bleed? I took some photos, incl. of each corner, to observe how the glow shifts. Contrast ratio...

    New Eizo EV - Series - PWM-free (partially)

    Evening all, I took some photos of the screen, first centered on the display, then moved the camera clockwise, facing perpendicular on each corner, to capture any shift in glow which might occur. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in and help identify what's ips-glow and...

    New Eizo EV - Series - PWM-free (partially)

    Maybe someone here can help me. Since yesterday I have the EV2436, which is my first IPS (except for my laptops 12" display) and something puzzles me. According to my Spyder3, brightness/contrast out of the box is: 0.45 cd/m^2 black level 331.99 cd/m^2 white level 733:1 contrast...

    So how much of a difference does contrast make?

    So how much of a difference does contrast make?

    My impression is that contrast ratio does matter somewhat. Comparing 750:1 with 550:1, the higher contrast seems to have better definition in the highlights and shadows.
