Nah.. the Reference series are still around, and still amongst teh best. Anyway... NEWFLASH! Gave Eizo a bollocking today over the phone. They are now sending out a new monitor, and collecting mine on the same day, free of charge. Not only that, but they are taking away my SX3031W and replacing it with a Color Edge CG303W Not bad for a 2 minute phone call Not entirely sure I want an IPS screen, but it is a £2400 screen to replace my £1800 screen, so I suppose I'll quit while I'm ahead.
Oooh a lil bit of IPS vs PVA. I'm sure you'll grow to love the new toy. And yea... get that atrocious spongey-wongey G110 out of there. Why don't you consider the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate? It's a backlit mech keyboard and has media keys too.
So... How is it going back to IPS after the excursion into VA territory? Best of luck with the new monitor btw.
I still prefer S-PVA... better blacks.. I'm not loving the black glow Everything else rocks though. The hardware profiling with Color Navigator and my i1Display Pro colorimeter is just awesome. Gradients are soooooooo smooth.
Any of these take your fancy? http://www.maxkeyboard.com/mechanical-keyboard.html Only FN style media keys, if that's a a killer. Very nice looking backlight though, in multiple colours and with a variety of switches(red, blue, brown).
