Hello - I'm new to this site I found it while researching monitors.
I am working as an in-house prepress department. I deal with a lot of 4/c books that are printed domestically and overseas. I am presently using a Mac Cinema Display on a Mac Pro Quad-Core 2.66Ghz box.
I have been doing color retouching since '94 and drum scanning since '91. I used to manually calibrate my CRT and was very happy with that. LCDs seemed deficient in so many ways I did not put a lot of effort into trying to find one I really liked. It seems now with the IPS panels and the LED backlights a lot of the problems have been resolved.
I have been searching for in depth reviews and have been able to whittle it down to a couple monitors.
NEC LCD2690WUXi2-BK and EIZO CG243W
My question is if anybody has experience with either or both of these monitors and if the price difference equals a noticeable quality/working difference. I do have an Eye One calibration system (which I have been using on the Cinema Display) but I have always liked manual controls for calibrating because then I know exactly where any deficiencies in color matching are.
Also if you have another monitor suggestion besides these two I would be interested in knowing why you like it.
Thanks
