Colour accurate enough for work and quick enough for games
The puck controller is another thing living on the desk
The reason I chose this over a pure ProArt was the 144Hz, and it turns out you really can have both. The calibration report in the box matched what my own meter said to within a whisker. The hotkey puck is useful but it does take up space.
Used for: Less than a month
Two machines on one keyboard with a button on the desk
The default picture mode is far too cool and too bright
The KVM was the deciding feature and it is better implemented than the last one I used. A press on the puck and the keyboard, the mouse and the picture all move to the other machine together, with no lag and nothing dropping off. Out of the box the picture is set to something very blue and very bright. Ten minutes in the menu with the sRGB mode and the brightness down to a sane level and it is a completely different screen. I would not judge this one on how it looks when you first switch it on.
Used for: 6–12 months
Thunderbolt hub, KVM and a factory calibration report in the box
Uniformity is good rather than Eizo good
This does an enormous amount for the money: hub, KVM, 144Hz, a proper factory report and a stand with real travel in it. As an all-rounder for a desk that does design in the day and games at night, nothing else I looked at came close on the list of features. Nine months in, the one thing I would flag is uniformity. There is a slight warm cast in the bottom left on a full white page. Nowhere near enough to matter for what I do, but it is there if you go looking.
Used for: 1–3 months
Setup was quick and the factory report proved accurate
The OSD puck rolls off the desk if you nudge it
Checked the factory calibration sheet against my own meter and the two agreed closely enough that I stopped worrying about it altogether. Two months in and the only thing that still annoys me is the puck, which has no weight to it and ends up on the floor!
Used for: 6–12 months
Does the work and the play
Bezels are chunkier than the photos suggest
One screen for both jobs and I have stopped wanting a second one
Used for: Less than a month
Stand has proper height, pivot and swivel range
The bundled software wants more of the machine than it deserves
The stand deserves a mention of its own, because it goes low enough to put the top edge below my eye line, pivots into portrait without fouling the desk, and holds its position without drooping over the afternoon. The desktop software is the part I could do without. It wants to run at startup, it puts an icon in the tray, and it duplicates settings that already live in the on-screen menu. I use the puck instead and leave the software off the machine entirely!
Used for: 3–6 months
144Hz on a colour-accurate 32 inch is a rare combination
Backlight bleed in the bottom two corners on a dark background
Bought for exactly the reason this model exists, which is not wanting a work screen and a games screen on the same desk. It does both jobs well, and switching between a calibrated sRGB profile and something with more punch is a single press. Four months in, the complaint is the corners. On a black screen in a dark room there is a visible glow in the bottom two, the sort of thing that never shows up in daylight and never shows up in a document, but does show up in the first ten seconds of anything with a dark opening scene.
