Has great potential but one serious drawback
Pros
Clean, neutral greys. Accurate colors.
Cons
Solarizing (washed out) look when viewing from more than 30 degrees to the side.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
if you have to work with other people sitting next to you that are looking at your screen. However, it seems overall extremely color accurate.
I've been using this monitor for about three weeks now doing high end photoshop work.
When compared to an Apple Display, it shows MUCH more neutral greys and if you happen to have both of them plugged in at the same time and display a white-to-black gradation on both, you'll see how neutral this monitor stays throughout the values compared to an Apple display. The same goes for color gradients. I realized how often the serious banding in bright blue skies was actually my monitor not being able to display a clean gradation. You can even see the difference when just looking at the frame of a Finder window.
Now, unfortunately there is a serious drawback: When viewing the monitor from more than about 30 degrees (!!) off axis there is a serious solarizing effect happening. It may be fine for most people but I do have clients sit next to me sometimes to work on images and that is almost impossible with this screen now. The other person has to actually look over my shoulders to really see the true black values of the image rather than a washed-out looking version of it.
I'm not sure if I would recommend this monitor over an Apple display - probably not if you have to work with other people sitting next to you that are looking at your screen. However, it seems overall extremely color accurate.
