Eizo builds these largely for the medical industry. They still require 
calibration to get the levels right, they simply avoid color tone issues. Think 
about the implications, however: there is no way to emulate paper white, and if 
their color temperature of gray doesn't match what you need, too bad; its a one 
flavor fits all solution. For reading X-rays this is fine; for side by side 
matching to fine art prints, its rather lacking.
