Apparently,
Eizo just wasn't kosher with busting out a brand new addition to its
FlexScan lineup without also expanding the professionally-geared
ColorEdge series, so just three days after seeing the
HD2441W, here comes the 24.1-inch CG241W for the discerning set. This widescreen beast touts a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution panel, all black frame, 178-degree viewing angles, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 850:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, and comes tuned from the factory to showcase colors as accurately as possible. Additionally, you'll find DVI / VGA inputs, a host of USB 2.0 ports, VESA compatibility, and a shade hood thrown in for good measure. Eizo's expansive CG241W can be pre-ordered now for a whopping ¥209,790 ($1,718), but if you're willing to cough up the dough, you should have one very precise monitor in your hands by early next month.

Before any l33t gamz0rz start complaining about how you could get a 30" Apple or Dell for that much, or that the contrast ratio isn't high enough, or that the response time isn't fast enough ... just shut up and go away. These are not for playing games. They are for accurate colour representation and that's all.
I'm getting tired of seeing all these idiots bitching about the price of Eizos when they don't even have a clue.
i. want. it. now.
I want one...really badly. That shade hood is certainly a great idea. About time companies started throwing in extra goodies when you purchase expensive equipment. Its pathetic when you have to buy a wall charger for a certain Wi-Fi(ed) Media Player when you pay over $200 for it.
Photography is only a hobby, but stuff like this still makes me wish I had more cash. I would love one of these things to edit my photos on.
According to the press release it is going for ¥188,790 ($1529.19 USD) for just the monitor and ¥209,790 ($1699.29 USD) for the monitor + calibration sensor.
Incorrect usage of "kosher". That is all.
It may be bigger but its still a step down in color performance when compared to the CG210,211, and the 221.
