Do you know if GretagMacbeth preceeds or succeeds X-RITE? This whole progression, and change in packaging, boggles my mind.

Pantone is the older version and is no longer supported. Purchase the Gretag Macbeth version

All versions of the i1Display 2 are now sold OEM from X-Rite minus its own. So if you buy one from Pantone, it was really manufactured by X-Rite.

From what I understand Gretag Macbeth and X-Rite merged into one company last year. The Eye-One display 2 was originally produced by Getag Macbeth and now X-Rite has slapped their name on it. If you are looking for the latest issue of this product it's the X-Rite model although they are both exactly the same, to my knowledge.

IF they are the EXACT same name and SAME color...then it seems as though it must simply be different sellers are offering the same item at different prices. I found that when I purchased the Revlon ColorStay 12 hour eye shade in the denim blue shades that they were being sold for all sorts of different prices by different sellers (some extremely high and some quite reasonable and some very low, but all were the same eyeshadow/same description). I don't know if this helps you as I'm not this seller.

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home.I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

V1 had a TN screen the V2 has an IPS screen. Better viewing angles. That's the primary difference I believe.

Dear Rosa,Thre main difference between these two models is that the EFC-1G5SGECXAR is a newer model that gives you a 2 angles viewing stand segured by magnets.

I was at Best Buy for a special event, and there was a Samsung rep there. He told me the A950 is still there flagship model. The differences in the two are back lit vs. edge lit LED's that why the b8000 is so slim. While the b8000 has a faster refresh rate (240 to 120) the a950 has dynamic contrast where the set is constantly scanning to give better blacks. Oh, and I think there's one more HDMI port on the a950 than the b8000 if I remember correctly. I did ask the rep if there was a 9000 series coming out. He said there is one in the works, but wouldn't say when. I'm thinking late fall in time for Christmas, or next year in the spring, but that's a guess. If anyone knows a exact release date for the 9000 series please post. I'm leaning toward the a950 for a few reasons better blacks because of the dynamic contrast scanning, and on the b8000 I did notice while watching at Best Buy the set did bleed light from the edges in letterbox. (The black bars weren't completely black. Kinda bugged me.). $4000 vs $3600 for the a950 plus three yrs. interest free at Best Buy this week. I may pick one up, unless Amazon has a better deal going.

Its about the display, the V1 uses TN panel, which has poor viewing angles and color representation. I had the msp19 U and it had the same TN panel as the V1, you have to look directly at it the panel if you view it at an angle it will do a very odd hue shift turning all your colors to greyish mud. V2 is an IPS panel way better color representation, and excellent view angles, so you dont have to hover directly over the monitor you can work at an angle that is comfortable to you. it sounds like a small difference but its huge.

4661 Vs 4665: These two models are siblings. The 4661 has a matte finish whereas the 4665 has a "super clear panel" or gloss screen and a higher contrast ratio. The gloss finish is intended to bridge the gap in picture quality between LCDs and plasmas. Therefore, like plasmas, the 4665 will have some reflections but to me it is quite trivial compared to the richer colors you obtain from the 4665 compared to the 4661. Also, I think cnet, in its review, overstated the effect of the gloss coating and thereby needlessly scares those who are considering choosing between the 4661 and 4665. To further my point on why the gloss coat is better, note that the high end Samsung models, namely the 4671 and 4681, both have a gloss coat, and have obtained excellent reviews at cnet and amazon. If Samsung chooses to put a gloss coat on its best models, it surely means that Samsung and its customers know that the coating is better than one without it! I purchased the 4665 from Amazon for $1,549 on 12/23/2007. the price fluctuates all the time but Amazon will refund the difference if the price changes on its web site in 30 days

Don't know as I bought the black one. Place it temporarily on your screen both ways and see if there is any difference.

The only information that I could find is that the AL2223Wd is silver (instead of black) and has a contrast ratio of 800:1 instead of 700:1. Both have the same resolution, screen size, and response time. Acer's web site does not even have information, that I could find, on the AL2223Wd.Seeing as the amazon reviews for both products are stellar, I am thinking that both of these are good products. Anyone have additional information?- Mike

yep, I believe the only difference is the name. Had to replace mine after a bear destroyed the original screen. The shade screen was identical to the original.

No I have both. They are exactly the same. I assume the price difference is due to the price of the colored material. One may be more expensive for their supplier to make.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

sorry don't know the difference... I'd recommend the Pantone website for more info

The AG coating is minimal and, as a result, the FS2333 does not have the 'grainy' look that displays with aggressive AG coatings often present. Eizo seems to have added just enough AG to reduce glare, but not enough to detract from PQ. In contrast, Asus has an IPS display with even less AG which, imo, reduces the PQ due to individual pixels being more visible. Too little or too much can both reduce overall PQ - Eizo went to the effort of getting it just right.

Hello Craig, I bought the standard ones because I like the shiny look.I have used anti glare before and it seems OK.it does seem like you lose a little definition if you do use anti glare. If you are using it in a really bright area all the time then I'd say get it.otherwise I'd prefer the standard.
