Hi to every reader.
I have got an offer from a friend of a friend. He offers me a second-hand LCD monitor, Eizo FlexScan L675. The price is 190EUR, what is a very fine price for such a thing in my country.
I have to decide fast, or someone else will buy it. The problem is that I know very little about LCDs, so I need advices from people whos knowledge about LCDs is profound.
In short, can you check this monitor's specifications and tell me what is good and what is bad about it? I will tell you what I want out of a monitor:
I am looking for a high-quality LCD monitor, and I suppose that Eizo is a candidate for that. I really appreciate quality above all. I don't care much about the features like USB hubs or so (however I would need a dual video input). But physical quality and screen quality is crucial. I DO NOT want ghosts and dead pixels and whatever else.
My "interaction" with PC consists mostly of:
1) Reading literature (PDF, HTML, etc.) and programming, so it takes about 60-70% of the time. I really read a lot.
2) I also occasionally do video editing from my DV camera, and I watch DVD movies, so count that about 20-30%.
3) I also regularly play a game every day, at least a half an hour per day. So that takes only about 10-20%, but I don't want to chase screen ghosts in UT2004.
4) I often visit DOS, BIOS, Win95 in Safe mode and other low-res environments. But I suppose that is fine for an LCD?
Now here are a couple of links to get you started. If you could figure out in which year(s) this monitor was actual, I would also appreciate that info too.
I figured out that it is about $228 U.S and ...YOu could probubly get a better 19 inch monitor for 200....Plus that is a discontinued model..I am not sure of this but i don't think they could fit it if it broke down or w/e...But other than that you could buy it..You should check any European online stores and see if you could get some good deals there
I am not putting your freind down or anything that is a good LCD..It's just yo could get a brand new one that is about an inch bigger for like 200(166 EUR)
Atleast that is what i see on Tigerdirect.com but this is a U.S based company
The main problem is that I live in a country outside of te Europen Union, it is the third world like you call it. So any interaction with foreign stores and marketplaces (Ebay for example) is out of the question. It is possible, but it is very complicated and expensive combination.
As I said, this price is a fine price in my country. Prices here do not depend on world prices.
Can you give me your opinion about this monitor by just looking at it's specifications?
