Hi all,
I'm looking at buying the above monitor for use at home. At work I use an Eizo Coloredge CG246, which is amazing, but I can't afford to spring that kind of money for myself. I have an iOne Pro calibrator, do don't need the built in options anyway –*although I'd probably buy the NEC Sprectraview software if I went that way.
I'm just wondering if anyone could comment on the quality of the NEC and if I'm going to regret not saving / spending more on an Eizo.
To give you an idea of what I do, I'm a fine art photographer and I use an Imacon 949 to scan 4x5" and 6x7cm colour negative film. I spend a fair amount of time in front of a monitor trying to perfect colour so accurate white point and black point is really important. I like to control the finer points of my printing – I use an Epson 7800 for my final prints – and I calibrate to D55. For all of this the Eizo is perfect, but I didn't spend my own hard earned money on it! I'm hoping NEC, or someone else for that matter, might make a more affordable option that does a near enough job without making me bankrupt...
Any help you can give me in making a decision would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
TJV
