Andrew:
The NEC is as good as the Artisan?
The puck stuff is over my head, basically it comes with a calibrator that is similar to the Artisan in that you can walk away and come back and it's calibrated, right?
No reason to read about Eizo anymore, NEC is state of the art?
That said, I'm still sticking with my Artisan until it catches on fire, becuase the longer I hold onto it, the cheaper and better the NEC's will become.
Lastly, my monitor is perfect for last three days, but what was all that popping, flickering, and blurry monitor stuff about? (only lasted a few hours) -- I"ve had it four years now.
thanks!
