Eizo FlexScan L985EXEizo FlexScan L985EX

T&B Editor's choiceThe L985EX is a very imposing looking monitor with a very slim black bezel surrounding the panel.

The contrast is excellent, the colours are amazing, and the sharpness of the image and depth of field in the fast video playback were exceptional. There were very few hints of pixellation, however the quality of the display actually showed up imperfections in the source.

The monitor itself can move between landscape and portrait displays easily and has a full field of movement via the base. Cable management is also unique in that the unit has a separate guide on the rear of the stand to route all cables through that does not intefere with the motion or movement of the display and allows them easily to pass back and forth as the monitor is adjusted.

If you are looking for the Rolls Royce in a fully adjustable professional display, then the Eizo FlexScan L985EX fits that bill perfectly.

    Samsung SyncMaster 213T - Widescreen? - I was looking for a widescreen monitor about that size. I'm just glad I didn't order one based on your review for on the Samsung website it is quoted as being 4:3 aspect ratio.
    Very poor review
