Just got an EIZO CG243W from EIZO UK. I am wondering which panel it uses, so I disassembled my brand new CG243W to find it out.
Now, you can see what panel they are using. Seriously, no lie, I feel really disappointed as I still miss the MITSUBISH made, HITACHI made and the NEC made IPS panels. Not the cheap one from LG Display! Especially for this high-end market.
LM240WU4-SLA1. Yes, you got it, the HP LP2475W and PHILIPS 240PW9 do have the same panel but they won’t charge you £1000 ($1600) plus TAX! I will still maintain my old CG211. I know CG models do have good ASIC chips but will that worth £700 more?
Despite that, this is a good monitor. It has an accurate factory default setting, I do quite love it.
I bought 3 NEC lcd2690WUXi earlier this year, compaire to them, the CG243W does have the white glow when you see it from larger angle. But, for the default colour accurate and build quality issues, oh, also dead pixels, I have returned all my 2690s (all of them have 1 sub-pixel, I don't why. Just because the NEC does like me?), sometimes the NEC guys in UK are really hard to deal with. Anyway, all returned.
So far, I don't like the white glow and the LG panel. But, I do like the colour quality, and loads of improvement on OSD settings.
I will do more test in the future and I will give my review back.
BTW, I've been just new to this forum. I just wonder why the code can not show the picture in the thread?[/COLOR]
