The principle of the higher bit calibration is that the displayed tonal range is smoother. The actual displayed (calibrated) tones are chosen from a bigger range. The best of the Eizo's have hardware calibration, and one model will display the entire Adobe RGB space. You can read the detail on Eizo's web info. From my personal viewing, they are extremely tonally smooth and the brightness and colour is very consistent as the viewing angle changes. Finally the top of the line model, at least in Australia, costs a bit more than an M8!

The Eizo monitors indicate 14 and 16 bit processing, but 10 and 12 bit color calibration, respectively. What is the difference? The LaCie indicates 12 bit Gamut correction. Perhaps then the $1600 LaCie is more comparable to the $2800 eizo than the $1200 Eizo, representing a better value. Tom _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
