Eizos are outstanding. You can find pretty good deals on used ones with good color space coverage.

EIZO is definitely great, but 4K EIZO screens ain't exactly cheap either. Closest to consumer-level are the CG248-4K and CG318-4K (which actually are reference-grade) and cost about $2,800.

  The consumer-level Flexscan series are much cheaper. The EV3285, for example, is retailing for $1800 on BHPhoto.

    Ah, I totally forgot about Flexscan. They're definitely more suitable for consumer than ColorEdge. I think I didn't considered it because it doesn't have DCI-P3, but it is definitely a great monitor.

True. FlexScan are sometimes not too expensive. With a discount, a 2k one can match Dell UltraSharp in pricing. They also have those amazing 1:1 1920x1920 that are widely used in air traffic control.

  Exactly!! I run exclusively 2k and it's not the end of the world imo. I'm running a 1:1 right now and holy cow. I know it's probably bias but I will say it's actually the best monitor I've ever used... I'm a developer so the balance between LOC on screen at full width is AMAZING. Color isn't fantastic on it but honestly I have two monitors flanking it on the left/right that are calibrated enough for basic print/photo needs. The thing is - I'm still using it for things like PS and Illustrator because 1:1 works so well for complex applications like that... I just check color on a better monitor.

    Glad to hear you like it! Perhaps for programming, if one can only afford a single monitor, 2K 16:10 (2560x1600) would be better than the 1:1 1920x1920 Eizo offers. That gives you the ability to split screen into two windows that have an aspect ratio very close to A4, sqrt(2). With Eizo, the split is a bit too narrow or too short. However, for a single application the 1:1 is amazing. And sadly all 2K 16:10 are old models on their way out...
