Both Asus VG23AH and Eizo FS2333 use very light light coatings. Asus is semi-glossy and Eizo is semi-matte. The Eizo is faster in response times and input lag. The Asus has the passive 3d and is cheaper. I own both and both are great. I currently use the Eizo though. The Asus is a backup or for...
I would only know by looking at specs and if 'palate of 1.06 billion colors' is there you have 10-bit on board. Otherwise all 8-bit at 16.77 million. In practice I can't confirm better or worse. But banding is pretty nonexistent. Much better than my LG AS-IPS. S series Flexscan are what you were...
Yes marketed that way but it is a great graphics monitor as well. I only game 10% of my time on the computer. It has the 10-bit lut (EV does not and EV can't be HW calibrated like the Foris) It is seriously hard to ever see banding in anything even low res content. Also has incredibly granular...
So why would prad rate the fs2333 as very good for gaming AND hardcore gaming and the EV only good for gaming and satisfactory for hard core? Even looking at the charts there is no reason for such a difference in the end ratings. Not asking you to speak for prad, just asking in general.
Yes for the most part. Look for a fast VA. They are not as fast as IPS or have models with lower input lag than IPS/ PLS but for all the points you want you will need to find the fastest VA you can. TN won't cut it for the colors or angles. They all can have backlight bleed similar or even worse...
23"ers under 300 can happen easy enough. 27" ers over 300 can happen. I think you are in a bit of a quandary here though as HForum tends to be snooty. So maybe ask like you are looking for the best this or that not just an ordinary medium priced blah blah. I got bored reading but feel for you...
I don't know of any mass market IPS panels that do that statically after calibration. The fs233 is listed at 1000:1 as most are but unlike others it actually delivers 940-960:1 after calibration while others are at 750-850:1. Only 2 that I know of can hit even 1050:1 after profiling. You can...
The fs2333 in a well lit diffused room can have very good perceptible black levels. Not using a measuring tool of course as we know it is ~900:1 but the AG coating and reaction with the light gets pretty darn velvety for an IPS/ PLS to my eyes.
Anyone can have bleed. Just because you don't and I don't doesn't mean they don't. Every mass market screen is subject to lemons and bad manufacturing and quality issues that slip through. I do agree though that people mistake what is glow and what is bleed and what is anything really;)
I have...
PLS. No lottery. Everything I have seen is PLS only. Samsung. LG can't get anywhere near the low lag and the close up inspection of the pixels shows the common shape of PLS. It is advertised as 10-bit lut/ 8-bit output. Better gradients than any 8-bit I have had so even if it is 10-bit to 6-bit...
They could fix the overshoot in the 'advanced' overdrive setting. They could give us OSD controls on the actual monitor. They could add an AT-W polarizer to crush the 'IPS glow'. They can make improvements. I probably wont buy another for a while as I sit on display's for at least 3 years maybe...
The one on the left is better in the 'both' pics. How old is the older one? Mine is 08/2012 and is pretty stellar. Some new ones have other issues. Tough call. Getting an i1 Pro will help. Weird on your OSD settings as perfect white for mine is RGB: 100, 100, 88 at 55 brightness for 140cd/m2. As...
The Asus is faster. The Dell has wide gamut GB-LED. They both have well implemented AG coatings if only so slightly different. When using aRGB mode the Dell has tons of input lag. The Asus has a bunch as well. You can get rid of most of that using sRGB mode but that makes it no better than the...

I contacted my regional Eizo rep via a phone call. Then shipped to a pro photo shop in my city to purchase. I picked it up personally. Store is 1.5 miles from home.
It's bad enough that while booted into OS X I thought the pinstripe look had come back ala' 10.4. It is one reason that my VG23AH is a backup display. Videos and games seem to be just fine as it lends a type of 'interlaced' quality but doing work in general OS bothers me. I tend to be a...
It's the lack of input lag that you notice far more. But it is faster than 20WMGX2, yes. Noticeably but not spectacularly. Hard to separate response from pixel to input in general use. Image creation is much faster.
IPS is a really big advantage. Better put, 120Hz and 2ms and 3D is the only advantage the Samsung has. Personally I would rather have a quality screen over marketing bells and whistles. Of course 120hz support is useful. Check the input lag on each as some TN's have tremendous lag that negates...
OK. This is good. Looking normal now at least from measurement. Now to Eizo for those high black level values. Can't remember if you chose 'Absolute Black' vs. 'Relative'. Absolute gives a subtle crush on the very last black stage that I like and usually adds a few more bits of contrast (does...
No IPS/ PLS display should be hitting even <5dE in anything. 10's, 30's, and 70's are insane. If the Eizo color looks well enough to your eyes then the puck is worthless (I know you don't want to hear that or believe it but...) A value of 20-70 dE would make things look like outer space weird...
That is really bad.
Here is mine from some months ago.

Notice everything is >1de. The sensor looks bad imo. If this is what you get each time. I had a Spyder 3 go out like that with obscene values...
You could try the demo of ColorEyes Pro. 1st few profiles are free. I think it is 15 or 30 day trial. I use it on OS X and Win7. 2.2 Gamma, 6500K, Absolute black level, 140cd/m2 target. Brightness of OSD at 55. 140 result with 0.149 black level. 939:1 contrast ratio. I profile in total darkness...
ASUS VG23AH probably fits the bill. A bit glossier than the Foris but still semi-gloss AG. Not as fast, not as expensive either ($185.00 US). Great image quality. Again, not as good as the Eizo but pretty stellar. I just got the Asus and it has 76Hz support and was a good unit based on the...
The bad revision perhaps? One of the test sites had an earlier one that only got 700:1 or something. My Spyder3 is terribly inaccurate. Have you checked the Spyder 4's reliability? Otherwise you have my same settings. What SW are you using to profile? Have you measured default profile for contrast?
Remember manufacturers specs are a complete crap shoot with 5ms rated displays acting like 16ms and 12ms acting like 2ms. A 60Hz IPS with >8ms will usually feel faster than a 60Hz TN rated at >2ms. Not taking into account the rest of the factors that contribute to responsiveness. Switching times...
fs2333 has pivot at base unless I misunderstand what that is. It turns on a circular base with little effort. Everything I read is that it is 10-bit LUT and 8-bit panel. Prad never mentioned it and tftcentral never reviewed it. Not sure why they would go up to 10-bit then back down to 6 and...
They don't make glossy panels for photo work probably because If you have ever spoken with long standing pro photographers the majority hate glossy panels (cult-ishly I might add). The added appearance of contrast that does not exist is kind of bad for grey scale if you are going for accuracy...
These are fast >8ms lag (except the CX240) >5ms pixel response display's. Really fast (for a) 60hz/ 76Hz display. Probably needed the "(for a )" to clear things up.
