By the way, the reason I have an Eizo screen is that I had two Apple 23 inchers, and both died within a few days. The first one just died, within 48 hours, so I swapped it. The second turned magenta at one end and green at the other within less than a week. The problem seemed limited to the 23, the 20 and 30 inch screens at the time did not have these issues. However I was told that color (eg magenta/green twister) was not guaranteed by warranty, and if an Apple screen developed this issue after the return period it would not be replaced.
But the poor shop had a money-back return policy, and a stack of returned screens. So I added my screen to the stack, got my money back, paid the "premium for quality" and bought Eizo. I have not regretted it, the color is very good. Eizo's warranty covers uniformity and color, I believe.
The Mac to which the screens wer connected, a dual 2.5 Ghz G5 has just failed too, its power supply fried like a lot of that batch. Details about the quality of Apple Powermacs, from an unimpeachable source that cannot be called anti-mac can be found below:
http://www.macintouch.com/reliability/pmg5.html#conclusions"But the Power Mac G5's 17% first-year failure rate remains far higher than the industry average of 5% (see Gartner's recent report on PC hardware reliability, linked below). If Apple is to maintain its premium pricing, it should provide premium reliability. As things stand, high Power Mac prices must include high warranty service costs built-in."
