The Bottom Line:
From a price/performance standpoint the EO2010 is hard to beat.
Ok I admit it.... Flat-panel LCD monitors are so much cooler and sexier than traditional CRTs. But they also cost about four times as much for the same amount of screen space, and they have another significant disadvantage that most people don't realize until they actually use one. They tend to leave "ghosts" on the screen. I'm not an engineer so I can't tell you exactly why, but it has something to do with the refresh rate being slower, and that the pixels don't turn off as fast as they do on an CRT, so they leave an after-image for a few milliseconds. If all you do is email and surfing the web then it's likely you won't care, but if you play a lot of fast-paced games then you will probably not be happy with the performance of an LCD. I have seen some very expensive ones where this ghosting effect is barely noticeable, but on all of the less-expensive models I've used it can be very pronounced, especially playing 1st-person shooters and racing games.
The EO2010 is Princeton Graphic's top of the line 21" monitor. According to their website, it "aims to please the most discriminating professionals". They also sell EO2005 and an ULTRA100 21" monitor, which have lower prices and less features.
The EO2010 is large and heavy, even for a 21" monitor. Before you buy one, go to their website, look up the dimensions, and make sure it will fit on your desk. The plentiful on-screen controls allow you to adjust and fine-tune the picture to your liking, because no two video cards will send out the signal in exactly the same way. Construction is study, and the monitor can be adjusted up/down and left/right to your preference.
The maximum recommended resolution for the EO2010 is 1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz. I run mine with 32-bit color and 1024 x 768 at an unbelievable 120Hz resolution. The picture is bright and rock solid, which no flicker or distortion whatsoever. Part of the credit can be given to my Radeon 9500 video card, but I have used this monitor on several computers and it always looks fantastic. If you're willing to spend a lot more money, then there are better 21" inch monitors out there, but not for the price of an EO2010.
