Eizo CE240W
- Thread starter Kmat
- Start date
I had one last year. It's nothing special. It has an S-PVA panel, and it suffers from all the limitations of S-PVA panels. It starts to wash out at the slightest angle, so most of the screen appears washed out from a normal viewing position, which is typical of S-PVA panels. For some reason, the washout was worse when looking to the left, so the left side of the screen appears brighter. I've seen that reported time after time by other people. It also has the same lag as the Dell 2405FPW. I also tried the EIZO HD2441W recently, and it had all the same problems, along with slightly blurry text.
The included calibration software was a joke. All it did was measure red, green, blue, black, and white, then adjusted the gain accordingly and copied that to the lookup table. It didn't actually do any real calibration.
It was basically a Dell 2405FPW with better color and less inputs, but what's the point of better color if the viewing angles wash out the colors and the left side appears brighter? I'm probably one of the few people that don't like EIZO's 24" monitors, but I don't see the point of paying over twice as much for a monitor that doesn't perform much better than a Dell.
Get the NEC LCD2490WUXi instead. It's a far better monitor.
Edit: I forgot to mention, the CE240W also had the same green/red ghosting problem that people have reported with the Dell 2407WFP because it didn't take the gain settings into account when doing overdrive. The HD2441W didn't have that problem.

Hey Toasty,
I have a question for you. Were you able to get any equipment like a PS3 to work with that HD2441W through dvi? Eizo has a habit of saying that HDCP is enabled through dvi on a spec sheet, but on a foot note on the same page they say " Display with audio/video devices is not supported." Do you know what is up with that? I have never been able to make sense of it. Any help will be appreciated.
I'm asking because I am comparing Eizo, Nec, Planar monitors.
