eizo monitor recommendation

2014-12-21 by Jordan.kreidberg@...

I'd be grateful if someone could advise me on purchasing new Eizo monitor. Mine is outdated and incompatible with their new color management software. I do a lot of B&W photography and print with an Epson 3880 and also Pieziography.


I have a Xrite iDisplay PRo, and my question is whether the new Eizo monitors with built-in calibration (CG versions) are better than using a third party device, or would you recommend getting an Eizo without the built in calibration (e.g the CX versions ) since I have a calibrating device?


One additional question- I find even after calibration that some B&W prints are still too dar, for example the snow that is white on the monitor is grey in the print. It's been suggested to me that my monitor is set too bring. What brightness setting is recommended to be alb to get the best match between monitor and print?


thanks very much

Jordan
