Mark and I shop at the same camera store and the same salesman has been tempting me with the Eizo for the past several months. Bottom line is it is everything he claims in the article. However, at least for the time being, I remain satisfied with my 30" cinema; I know how to read it for my prints, and get what I want, so no huge, glaring deficiency --- at least yet. My next $5K is probably going to go to a 9900, and at that time I'll probably need a new monitor anyway, so hopefully the Eizo has dropped a few grand by then -- yeah right -- soooo, I'll probably look to the NEC 30" (at about half the cost of the Eizo) instead...
PS: And he's right about editing on a 30" too --- once you've been there, you can't go back to anything smaller...
Cheers,
