Eizo L365

I have just ordered an <b> Eizo L365 </b> TFT monitor with a new PC for my family.

I was able to see it in a nearby shop, where they had on display several TFT (& CRT) screens. Unfortunately they didn’t have a Compaq (5030), but they had a <b> Nokia (530) </b> and a few others from less known manufacturers: <b> AOC & Iliyama </b>.

The Eizo really stood out.
For one it is more compact; it has a small surrounding plastic case, compared to all the others which look enormous.

But most important is the feeling that I got from looking at the screen; the colours were more “vivid and intense”, whereas all the others were looking faded, “wishy-washy”.
I guess it must be the superior contrast of the Eizo, <b> 450:1</b> !

By the way, here are the full specifications: Brightness: 300 cd/m2, Contrast Ratio 450:1, Response Time: Rise Time: 6 ms, Fall Time: 19 ms, Viewing Angle Horizontal: 160°, Vertical: 150°, RGB & DVI, speakers.

I forgot to mention that all the TFTs where connected through an analog RGB connection and they were simultaneously playing a video (avi or mpg) of medium quality. Maybe the resolution was not 1024*768.

However, the fact is that the difference was striking; the Eizo had a much “sharper” image, compared not only with the aforementioned models but with everything else I had seen so far. That made it for me.
Now I am looking forward to using it (with an ATI 7500 DVI card, AthlonXP1600+, KT266A, 256DDR rig ) and I will let you know how it looks like in games and all.

How is Eizo L365?? I am looking at this great LCD too

Please give some feedback!

Thanks

Yes, I know that LCD's don't refresh. Sorry if teh wording sounded like that too u. What I mean is that I belive I have read about some sort of thing about there being a limitation to fast motion video teh lower teh refresh rate is.

Wasn't on the web. Ok, so aside from the marketting then, what would be the point of a 75Hz refresh rate- there has to be some other reason...

Isn't 60Hz also supported?

So if 60Hz is supported by all monitors and vid cards (which is obvious since that's default in many things), why make LCD's w/ 75Hz? Why would there be a VESA requirement that it be 75Hz, not 60Hz?
