Eizo FG2421 vs BenQ XL2420Z
Posted: 12 Feb 2014, 22:01
Hello all,
Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I could not find search results. I'm considering returning my BenQ XL2420Z for the Eizo FG2421. This is due to a few reasons. Even after calibration the colors and black levels are quit poor. I knew coming into this they would but I'm coming from an overclocked 60hz TN panel that looks better. Quite a disappointment there. The other issue is the blur reduction bug that apparently cant be fixed without purchasing a device to flash firmware. That is if BenQ will provide it.
Now with why I want the Eizo and my concerns...
Price aside I would love to have strong contrast and black levels. I've not owned a MVA panel before so the chance of getting great color and 120hz is really appealing.
I understand the Eizo is PWM flicker free at brightness of 20-100%. Does this mean it will have the clear motion of the XL2420TE\Z? I originally had the Asus VG248QE but returned it due to what was dubbed PWM artifacts. It just ruined 144hz for me. Example below.

There has been some concern with cross hatching artifacts. I've not seen these before and have only read about them? Is this something I should really be concerned with or is it overblown? The OCD in me says yes.
How is the input lag in real life compared to the Asus or the BenQ? Hopefully somebody has tried them both.
I'm really not that too worried about the 240 turbo strobe effect. What it comes down to is I want the same kind of motion experience I get with the BenQ XL2420Z on 120/144 hz but with good color.
Will the Eizo FG2421 do it for me?
