I've been saying this for months, but at last I think I have finally found the one I want. I had been all set for a 24" Dell until they replaced the model I was set on with a not so hot new model and so I had to start searching again. Now I thinki I've found the one:

Don't think I'm gonna get that link working but hopefully someone can follow it.
My question is does anyone have experience of this Eizo S2431 which seems to get very good writeups everywhere I have found it.
Also, I have very few places that actually sell it, but just called these guys and they have it in stock. My only concern is I've never heard of the company before. Never used to bother me in the past but the odd horror story I have read about over the past few years has made me a little cautious of unknown companies. Does anyone have any experience of these guys?
Any feedback would be much appreciated. If all is well I wanna order one today/tomorrow 
Cheers

I have just bought the Eizo 24" but from Native Digital. Great service - arrived in 2 days despite going for the cheapest delivery option which should of been 5 days.
Loving the monitor - I tried a Sony and was very disappointed with contrast and colour - this is excellent. Last month it was £700, so I'd snap it up at £570 if you have the cash.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick feedback!
I suspected that probably they were an ok company but that they were a bit more specialist company than I normally deal with.
I had thought of Eizo as £1k+ until I found a review of this particular monitor!
Dave - have you found this monitor calibrates ok? I don't have any calibration equipment at present, but the one reason I decided against the HC Dell's was because of the nightmare stories I had read about repeated unsuccessful atempts at calibrating them and lots of returned monitors.
Actually Native Digital was the only other place I found that sold this and the price was the same on their site too today. Hadn't heard of them either!
Actually, if anyone could recommend a good kit for monitor and printer calibration to go with this and my R1800 printer that would be handy as I don't really know what's what with these.
I was thinking about something like the new spyder 3 studio? I'm not a pro so don't want to be spending stupid amounts on the setup but at the same time I want something that's pretty decent!
Both companies seem fine. I found them by looking for UK sellers of Eizo directly from the Eizo website.
I have used Spyder 2 and have calibrated it easlily. I did have to tilt the screen back as far as it would go and make doubly sure the sensor was exactly flat to the screen as the first 2 attempts I ended up with a pink cast.
This was down to the sensor not being exactly flat and not a monitor issue. Now calibrated easily and I've done it twice no probs.

hhmmmm interested to know which one you mean as I have heard the new high colour version of the 24" is the dog b's. what have you heard different?
The HC one is the one I have heard a lot of bad things about. I was all set to get the non-HC version until they replaced it with the HC version and can't find the older one anywhere. Apparently the colours are just freakishly over saturated and can't be calibrated. Just what I have read, not personal experience, but it has put me right off it
