high end flat panels: Eizo, Iiyama

I found these two brands by seeing them in PCWorld magazine (online). Their
latest models have outstanding specs (and outstanding prices!).

The only reviews for these brands were for 17" models, but the models I am
interested in are 19". They are the Iiyama ProLite H1900 and the Eizo
Flexscan S1910. They cost about $900. They also have 19" models that cost
twice that much, but those are right out.

The thing is, I can't find any user reviews of these brands online. A
magazine isn't trustworthy (but that doesn't mean that a magazine should be
ignored). CNet's editors (notorious liars, I am aware) drool over Princeton
and Formac, but if you look at the user reviews for those models, you see
they have great picture quality but are terrible due to

1) lousy tech support
2) defective pixels
3) brittle stands
4) BIOS screens displayed illegibly small

(the complaints for both brands are similar)

I'd be very happy if someone could vouch for either Eizo or Iiyama or both.

Some of you may ask, why are you interested in expensive flat panels that
are obviously intended for desktop publishing professionals when you aren't
one yourself?

Answer: because they are there!

The best way to find stuff like this is Google: Eizo "user reviews"
Then read what users have to say about them.
Many sites where you can buy products also have sections where customers can
also post reviews of the products they have purchased - usually directly
under the product.

I know all about google. These are not consumer flat panels. There are no
consumer reviews
of these flat panels. I am posting here because these flat panels are
intended for use with
desktop publishing and this is a place where desktop publishers come. When
the
straightforward path doesn't work, try thinking outside the box. I figured
desktop publishers
are more likely to be using these than other people.

And I'd still refer you to Google:

"Iiyama ProLite H1900" review - turned up several reviews, look at the
ComputerShopper review.
