It's not what you like and what you want!

It's what they want you to have and you will like it. You

will have one regardless the price they dictate and pay it!

And wait, that's not all. After you are forced into giving them
your money for something you don't want. It'll be obsolete just after
you walk out the store and repairs will be many times more than just
going though the same ordeal again which they will so condition you
to adhere too!

Sadly, you are correct. The industry needed something new. And unfortunately,
most people want these TFT screens because of their small size. The real
high-end user has to suffer for the ignorance of the masses. It amazes me how
much effect the appearance of the actual machine has on the quality of the
screen, for most people. I could write an entire essay about that subject...

Luckily, these Eizo screens are made to last. With the calibration features it
offers, the picture's is as good as new after 14608 hours of use. A low-end
monitor would almost have reached its MTBF by now...

With some luck, SED screens are available when this monitor dies. The
technology exists, but there are license issues. SED is still a fixed pixel
grid, but at least works on the basis of color addition (like your eyes!) as
opposed to color polarization and subtraction.

BTW, I just watched some DVD on this screen. The absolute blackness this
monitor offers is SO important for the image quality. As soon as the slightest
bit of grey starts to leak through, the entire image quality suffers; it just
looses its feel. It's as if you throw a bucket of paint over a Van Gogh... I
always compare backlight bleeding to noise in audio. For some reason, people
dispise the latter, but accept the former...


Btw.
Have a great Xmas!

Same to you. Bet you got a TFT screen for christmas :)
