Verdict

Pros: Accurate colour; excellent brightness, contrast and viewing angles
Cons: Performed slightly worse than the 21.1in version
Overall: Excellent performance and although it’s quite pricey it’s also considerably better value for money than the 21.1in version

Bigger brother to the Flexscan S2110W, the Eizo’s S2410W comes with an almost identical specification, yet a considerable increase in screen size.

A range of high-end features make this monitor ideal for graphics professionals and enthusiasts who demand the ultimate control over their display.

Precise control over colour is available using a 10bit Lookup Table (LUT), rather than the usual 8bit versions, and Gamma values can be adjusted between 1.4 and 3.0 in 0.2 increments.

Individual hue and saturation adjustments can be made in both RGB and CMYK colour modes.

In our tests, performance was slightly inferior to the S2210W in terms of brightness and colour accuracy, but still way ahead of most monitors we’ve reviewed.

Six different viewing presets are provided with pre-programmed brightness, colour temperature and gamma settings.

A programmable user mode is also provided along with a Text mode, which reduces the brightness from a dazzling 450 cd/m2 to more comfortable levels at the touch of a switch.

Both the S2410W and the S2110W are available in black, silver or white cabinets. Our review model this time is the white version. Thanks to the more visible controls, it’s actually easier to use than the black chassis.

Build quality is superb with a uniquely flexible stand that can arc the monitor into a book-reading position.

While the S2110W’s price is considerably higher than competing monitors, the S2410W costs less than £100 more than products such as Dell’s popular 24in panel, the Ultrasharp 2405FPW, but with a far higher specification.

So, if you can afford it, the S2410W offers considerably better value for money than the 21.1in version.
