A revelation!

I figured this much. I'm in the same boat when it comes to shopping for an hdtv. I want something bigger, but I will most likely be let down coming from a Kuro. It's sad that in 2015 "every other monitor" will leave me disappointed. The AMH A409u is a Korean 40" VA panel that has positive...

Can somebody recommend me, as a 2421 owner, a larger display with VA-like contrast? I love this monitor but the size isn't cutting it any more. I have my steam account loaded with games and I don't want to use an hdtv. I have a 9G Kuro and that is dedicated to film. The idea of PC gaming...

I just started looking into other monitors, as there's nothing wrong with mine but I just prefer something bigger. I've been gaming on my big hdtv all these years with consoles, but I really want to start taking advantage of the games I have on steam with a bigger pc monitor (for those superior...

Im with ya MonarchX. This is in fact why ordered it NOW because I don't want to let this gaming beast slip by. Mine was delivered today, but I've had such a busy schedule that I won't be able to open it until tomorrow. I will update here with my initial impressions with some pics in games...

I take it Dec 2013 or later builds are the best yes? Mine should be here tomorrow so here's hoping!

I would have preferred Amazon but who knows when they'll be in stock.

I'm with ya Bluesun311. Just ordered an FG2421 from B&H. Got sick and tired of playing the TN/IPS game. I'm at the point now where I'm willing to live with quirks such as crosshatching and slight coloring on the side just to get inky blacks for some solid gaming.

You've sold me on the Eizo. I'm a sucker for having deep blacks and if that means trading off minute details then so be it. I take it you had a positive experience with B&H? Unless there's anything in the pipeline this year better then I'm pulling the trigger. The Benq G series sounds...

To be clear.. are you saying your Benq Z is crisper than the fg2421 or just in general? As I mentioned before the other deal breaker for me is having a matte screen which is too grainy. I like AG coating as long as it isn't aggresive. I've read a few user comments regarding the AG coating on...

Forgive me if this was asked but is there a way to tell outside the box if it's made in Japan and/or mnf date? What's the likelyhood of getting an older/original build if I order from B&H?

Also bluesun311.. you said the colors are bad. I read the review at TFT on this particular panel and supposedly with Standard mode selected the colors should be near accuract. I have to accept this since I don't have a calibration tool, but really as long as it's close then I'm okay. Is it...

I can live with limited viewing angles and 'not so perfect' colors, but I must have deep blacks. So it's good to know that you feel good about the blacks on your XL2720T. I'm curious if someone could tell me that's had both the Eizo fg2421 and either a Benq T or Z series to let me know how...

Yes it's frustrating finding that dream monitor. I have my Pioneer Kuro 9.5G hooked up to my gaming rig and the picture is out of this world.. but not ideal due to size and lag. If they made a 24-27" Kuro I'd pay several grand for it. That's good to hear about the FG2421 having a nice...

Grainy matte? You see this is what scares me. I really want to pull the plug on either this or the Eizo fg2421 but I just don't like matte screens. I can deal with semi-gloss since my Asus now has it but it's still very clear.. like a clear matte. Not a grain in sight. If I detect grain...
