EIZO makes great monitors. I have two and they are awesome.

Its sad and pathetic that some asshole would would post such a comment. Its even more pathetic that the moderators of this website don't remove such crap immediately. I used to have some respect for this site. Too bad all of the good things about this site are diluted by such utter shit and...
