Eizo CS2740

[vjbelle]

Just received an Eizo CS2740 after my NEC PA272W died. This is the first NEC monitor that has ever failed me but finding another one is impossible. I managed to find the Eizo and couldn't be happier. I have been reluctant to purchase a 4K monitor because of compatibility issues with PS and critical sharpness settings but have found those warnings to be dubious at best. I can easily see sharpness variations regardless of scaling from either my Mac or PC. Microsoft scales the monitor differently from the Mac - at 4K text remains large and crisp and easy to read. The Mac at 4K reduces everything with text being small but still very sharp. The monitor is very even edge to edge and the Color Navigator software is very easy to use and extremely customizable.

Highly recommended......

assume you don't have the issue with the Apple M1 chips . B&H even warns of issues with the M1 computers .

I can't find any comments about the M1 chip under that monitor's listing at B&H. Where do they warn about using that monitor with an M1?

The issue is how many Eizo monitors you can run with M1 chips and a few other details about color and banding. However the CS2740 is listed as compatible by Eizo.

Thank you. That is a very helpful link!

I have no issues with my Mac M1 and the Eizo monitor. For sure I will not be buying any more NEC monitors now that I have an Eizo for comparison. I was tempted to purchase a BenQ SW321C and am glad I didn't given some of the feedback I've read. I think the retail sellers all deal directly with Eizo in California and have the monitors drop shipped by them. I bought the last one currently available from Lexjet.

I am very fussy about monitors and sure am impressed with this one.

The M1 chip issue mentioned in various places including Eizo’s website has been fixed according to tech service I spoke to at Eizo recently.

Thanks for the updates this has been very helpful to me . I have wanted an EIZO monitor forever and now it looks to be a safe purchase for a Mac user .

One of my NEC monitors, the MultiSync PA271W, is on its way out, after about 10 years, and I've begun looking for a replacement. The BenQ SW271C has been popping up, but I haven't seen anything negative, other than comments about the slow card reader and unnecessary puck, until I saw your post here, Victor. What is some of the feedback you've read?
