Eizo FlexScan L778
So it turns out that the L797 really is nice, but does cost a fortune compared to other 19" LCD’s. More than I can reasonably spend, anyway. I decided to order the FlexScan L778 instead. Color reproduction is probably much worse, but it will allow me to get rid of two CRT monitors and a pair of separate speakers. The response times for the L778 seem to be quite good, due to technology that Eizo has borrowed from LCD TVs.
If the color reproduction isn’t good enough, I can always send this one back and reconsider investing in the L797.
