There are other sellers out there. At least in the US where I'm searching.
As I said... "However, NEC still shows this model in their current offerings." According to NEC, it is still a current model. No disagreement here.
Of course, all models are eventually discontinued. Even after a model
is discontinued, they will generally be available from various retailers for some time afterward.
I might reasonably assume that B&H and Adorama would be happy to offer this model for sale on their website,
if they could be assured that they could fulfill orders for them in any reasonable time frame. Given that this model is targeted at photographers, among others, and those are two of the major outlets where photographers purchase equipment, I thought the notices on their websites were worthy of notice—no disrespect to "office wonderland.com" or "pssav.com" intended, or to you either for that matter.
* Regarding price, Chromix is currently selling the Eizo CS2731 for $1,209 (after $30 rebate which appears after adding to cart) and of course ColorNavigator 7 software is free. It's $380 less than the NEC PA271Q + SpectraView II + Colorimeter bundle, if you don't need a colorimeter. If you do need a colorimeter, it's $259 for an i1Display Pro at B&H which leaves a total price difference of $120 less. B&H offers the CS2731 with Eizo colorimeter
for $1,359, $130 lower in price. Myself, I would put the savings into a
hood for the monitor. And yes, both models are available bundled as a package with software and colorimeter—at additional cost over the monitor alone of course.
I mention this because some automatically assume that Eizo models aren't competitively priced due to the more expensive CG series. The CS2731, in my opinion, offers a good value considering its exceptional performance. Both are excellent monitors. As always, people should buy what makes
them happy—not someone else.
No experience with M1 (with SpectraView or otherwise) but the read me you posted doesn't appear to be of any necessary concern AFAIK.
Except, perhaps, for the part that says... "and it
may not work in all cases". Also, "released as a
temporary workaround for compatibility issues" is not a confidence builder. The part that says "It is intended as a temporary solution
until Apple fixes the issues" doesn't lead one to the conclusion that they believe that it's
their issue to fix for customers and are busy working on a permanent solution.
Actually, the read me which I linked to, I personally would not find all that reassuring as a potential buyer—
if I were intending to use SpectraView II software to calibrate my display with an M1 Mac, now or in the future. Fortunately, basICColor does offer an alternative solution that works.
