Easy to use, but we had serious concerns over picture quality at this price.

Our Rating
Eizo earns full marks for their set of controls, which, along with all the usual collection, include an 'autozoom' button which both centres and zooms the image automatically.
On the others, you're left fiddling with individual horizontal and vertical positioning controls until you get things right. Adjustments are made using a wheel rather than the usual set of buttons, which all go to make setting up this monitor as easy as possible.
The Eizo came with disks, containing information (.Inf) files about the monitor's capabilities. Installing these files will guarantee Windows recognises your monitor's Plug'n'Play name and configures it correctly. However, the manual doesn't explain how to install these .Inf files.
The 17in Eizo monitor suffered slight blurring at the corners, but it wasn't particularly noticable. It also suffered from dull colours throughout, particularly evident with whites. At least it can handle 1,280x1,024 without loss of too much definition and at a comfortable 76Hz refresh rate, although it was clearly at the limit of its ability.
The Eizo comes with a high price tag of £329, and has a set of controls to match this price, but it falls out of the running because of concerns over image quality.
