From the "Read" link -

"the speed of response 16ms (intermediate color is 6ms)"

If the google translation is to be believed, 6ms is the gtg, 16ms is the black-to-white or vise versa - not bad at all - and it'll actually allow you to see accurate color rendition, if there's any banding, etc, etc. My Benq FP241W has similar response times, and it's plenty fast for Fallout3 and the like, thankyouverymuch. ]]>Jul 31st 2009 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/

It's that little "96% RGB" tag, if you must know.

And they also do happen to be really nice displays...]]>Jul 31st 2009 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/
Color reproduction is much more accurate. Contrast ratio, real contrast ratio, is better from black to white (most crappy monitors claim higher contrast ratio by extending the white side of things, and it means zero in real performance) with more fine gradations at the extremes - think shadow/highlight detail, not silhouetting. Wider color gamut means that it can display more colors properly - if a monitor can't produce a specific color properly, they usually resort to dithering - alternating (quickly) between the colors on either side of the color that you want, giving a poor rendition of that color - it's oversimplified, but think of someone showing you a grey card vs someone flipping a book of alternating black and white pages to simulate that grey shade. ]]>Jul 31st 2009 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SjS6VCVAcA]]>Jul 31st 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/Jul 31st 2009 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/

No they don't. If you can afford one then pros use displays from LaCie, NEC or Eizo. Apple's displays were pretty reasonable as well for a lower price before they went nuts and replaced them with a glossy display model.]]>Jul 31st 2009 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/Jul 31st 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/
Note: I'm actually pretty annoyed to discover that the Dell is about 1/2 the price in the US as it over here.

Understood but is the difference worth $500? I am not a professional photographer so I don't have an huge budget but I am prepared to invest in something if it is going to make a major difference. In this case I would perhaps consider a smaller display in order to reduce the overall price. So far I have not seen either the Dell or a professional Eizo "in the flesh" so I am hoping to hear from someone who has and who can advise if the Dell is "good enough" or whether it really is worth spending the extra money.]]>Jul 31st 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/

cons:
~its big, bulky, thicker than an imac
~it puts out a lot of heat, im unsure if this is normal for a display this size
~there is a little backlight bleeding in the top two corners, only visible with black screen and dark room.

other than those it looks great, and according to the reviews, with calibration it is very very colour-accurate.

Apple cinema displays are in the same league, but they lack connectors unfortunately. HP make a similar monitor to the 2408WFP but it wasnt so easy to get here in NZ which is why i got the dell. ]]>Jul 31st 2009 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/Jul 31st 2009 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/Jul 31st 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/eizo-24-inch-flexscan-s2433w-h-debuts-inspires-blank-stares/Jul 31st 2009 10:55AM
