Eizo introduces 120/240 Hz VA monitor

[Deleted]

Got this from another forum, but I guess people here are interested as well.
So Eizo will be launching/introducing a 120/240 Hz VA panel. So you will have better image quality and 120+ Hz

And a review:

Eizo moved into the PC gaming space a while ago, but didn’t seem to think that 120 Hz TN panels were optimal. Instead they decided to sell optimized 60 Hz IPS-based gaming monitors that didn’t sacrifice picture quality for speed, but didn’t match the speed of 120 Hz TN-based monitors either.
The next step is obviously to combine the two worlds, and that is exactly what Eizo has done with the 24” FG2421 that boasts a 120 Hz VA panel with great picture quality and extremely low response time. FG2421 is best of two worlds in a simple black cabinet with some neat features and a carrying handle on the back side.

And it delivers. After having examined the monitor for a few weeks we have found that it has excellent gaming performance, while maintaining great picture quality. This is an important step forward for gaming monitors, and we think that it is fair to call it a small revolution in gaming monitors. Picture parameters such as very deep black, good color reproduction, excellent response time, and near-zero input lag makes FG2421 the complete package, unless you’re specifically looking for a monitor to satisfy photographer and graphics needs. If so the FG2421 is not for you, and it never claimed to be, but if you’re a casual photographer and edit graphics from time to time, we think you will find the FG2421 more than adequate. Allround users don’t need to fear. The only real issue we experienced with FG2421 is its poor viewing angles.

But most importantly: You’ll want this monitor if you’re a gamer! Even if you’re not a gamer the Eizo FG2421 offers great picture quality. We can highly recommend the Eizo FG2421.

I might actually consider this, if I didnt had a 1440p screen. And depending on the price of course.

A step in the right direction, might consider this if g-sync does nothing for me.

Ah great just found my xmas present
Having s2241 for five years now, the quality of EIZO products is simply outstanding.

Any clues about the price?

I havent seen anything about price. But Im expecting it to be more expensive than a TN 120 Hz monitor.

Seen a newpost claiming it will start selling at 500 euro.

So either a 1440p/60Hz/27 inch screen or this 1080p/120-240Hz/24 inch screen, makes choosing difficult :P

This thing is VERY expensive.

Other 120/144Hz monitors cost half of that, what gives?

The VA panel, which offers the same quality as IPS (or something like that, Im not that technical )

So you get good image quality and a high refresh rate. Plus its Eizo and they are the first ones.

You still need to overclock that monitor and it could be not all monitors can reach 120Hz (most likely most do). But there is still a risk it doesnt get there and what not.

With the Eizo you are 100% sure it will run at 120/240 Hz.

Nice but it's "only" 1080p, I'm looking forward to 4k 120hz+ monitor.. although on the other hand, a cheap IPS 24" 1080p monitor will still be fine for work and browsing but Oculus Rift, when it comes out should trump any monitor for games and movies.
