I'm not looking for purchase validation - I'm happy with the screen I have, and I couldn't have bought a £2.5k monitor even if was perfect in every way and made me a cup of tea after every round of left4dead...
I'm just wondering what your basis is for saying that
It seems to me that, when it comes to monitors, a statement of "x monitor is better than y" always needs to be qualified with an intended use. There is no "all-round perfect screen" for every possible application. At least not yet...
So what application is it you were thinking the eizo is better for, and have you seen it in action with this application?
As I said your monitor is superb just enjoy it.

I'm sure "They" dont. Just for the record I didn't personally buy the ZR30W so I have no axe to grind either way. I just can't see the point paying for something that expensive for the small gain you might get over say the ZR30W unless you are into willy waving. Each to their own.
Not what I was looking for, nor the point I was trying to make... But if you don't want to elaborate further I won't push.
I'm simply trying to understand what makes these screens so much better than other 30"-ers, and for what range of applications this is true. I'm sure it's not an application I'd have any use for in my field (programming, general desktop work and some gaming), but that doesn't stop me wanting to understand... If it goes further than colour accuracy I'd be interested to know what

So it's fair to say you have no experience with the Eizo CG303W, and so couldn't quantify the gain (or loss) of any measure of the monitor? Certainly no position to suggest the prevailing reason behind spending so much on a monitor is for willy waving
If you don't get the point of the monitor, you won't be able to justify the price of the monitor. You also can't compare it to your HP for the same reason.

If your confused I suggest you use Google to answer your own question.

Regardless of whether they come calibrated out the box or not they still require calibration once a user gets it home and sets it up because the out of the box values will never be true 6500k + 120cd/m2.
I wouldn't mind such a screen but it's too costly and my 24" Hazro h-IPS calibrates perfectly for photo editing and since I've had various other IPS screens before it I kind of know what to expect now.
