Digital BW, The Print

Sam. I was surprised by the lack of any monitor companies at MacWorld! I
did, however, spend a half hour with an Epson engineer and found out that
any monitor that is going to be the color correct monitor should be
connected to the number one video card, in his humble opinion:-)

 

I've a dual 2.7 G5 Mac that has a dual head Radeon video card in it and I've
always had my EIZO CG210 connected to DVI port 2. When I calibrate it the
computer and ColorEyes software and X-Rite puck take full advantage of DDC
(I think that's what it's called, maybe DCC?). Anyway, what happens is the
monitor is definitely being controlled by the calibration device and
software, even though it's not on DVI port 1.

 

Integrated-Color, the company I bought my EIZO and ColorEye software from,
has always told me if I were to run 2 monitors (Mac or PC) I'd need 2 video
cards. In the case of my Mac that's not true because the card is a dual head
card.

 

Sorry I couldn't get more info for you but I still believe you can't go
wrong with the CG line of EIZO displays. They're listed under Color Graphic
displays at EIZO's web site. The company does make a cheaper line of
monitors that may fit your bill as well.
