I have been using a Benq 21" CRT for years (in a dual-screen environment) and thought it was pretty good. I calibrate my monitors with an Eye One.
The Eizo is the best I have ever seen or used. The blacks are really black and, in this respect, it is far better than my Benq P211.
Pricey, yes; but the resolution, pixel size and color is top-notch! I researced this for a while and though the price is high, it is well worth it if you are a PRO.
Here's my one gripe, and I think it is significant, and should be fixed by Eizo: You can't see the controls under (my) normal, low lighting conditions. It is not that dark in my work area; I can still read a book... You don't want to (have to) turn up the lighting to an un-natural condition when you want to calibrate or adjust the monitor. There is no backlighting for the buttons. The text is small (on a pretty flat black background) and with the illumination of the screen in your eyes, it is almost impossible to see the small, off-white (light gray) lettering, at all! I have used a flashlight to see what I'm doing. I think this Eizo is pretty, in a austere way. I like the simplicity and no-nonsense plainness of it, but it needs change to be where you can see the screen adjustments! I rate this as a significant shortcoming (when you need to calibrate) since I normally do some of my best work in the dark!
If you had backlighting actuated by touching anywhere on the control panel, and going off after a timed interval, that would solve all the issue.
