Review of the Eizo Flexscan EV3285 - 4K UHD monitor
Not everyone needs to work on a so-called wide screen gamut, on the contrary I would even be tempted to say! Site creators, Youtubeurs and even photographers who only publish their images on their blog or Instagram can largely " be satisfied " with screens displaying "only" the sRGB but on the other hand, they sometimes need space. This EV3237 replacement may be for them.
This Eizo display is part of the Flexscan range and replaces the very good Eizo EV3237. It therefore keeps its "office automation" vocation according to their marketing department. It is still a 32-inch UHD 4K screen (3840 x 2160 16:9 - pitch 0.18 - 140 dpi) with a satin matt panel, IPS (white LED) technology, 10-bit LUT table (still!), still sRGB gamut but with much thinner edges than on the EV3237. Rather high-end features on an "office" screen. Its connectivity is significantly improved compared to the EV3237 since the USB-C appears. This screen is sold for a little less than 1950 dollars at the beginning of 2019. But does it only make practical improvements or does it further improve the display of colours?
Introduction to the Eizo Flexscan EV3285 monitor
To begin with, here are some illustrations of this screen with its flawless ergonomics, with practical features that have been further improved compared to the EV3237, and in the current Eizo standards... |

What's in the box...
The monitor is sold with:
- The power cord... of course!
- The DisplayPort cable (which only allows 60 Hz)
- A USB 3.0 cable to power the USB HUB.

This Eizo EV3285 does not have a built-in colorimeter (unlike the Eizo CG2730) so you will need to use your sensor or buy one.
My purchasing advice : the i1Display Pro or SpyderX Elite

The monitor and its panel
1 - The definition/resolution - This is a new IPS matt panel of 3840 x 2160 pixels so UHD/ 4K (16:9 ratio) and 697 mm wide. Its resolution is therefore 140 ppi and the pixels are completely invisible at 23 / 29 inches, which gives this beautiful and particular look to 4K displays. The backlight is a white LED diode type. |

On this criterion, this new panel is substantially the same as the previous one and displays excellent homogeneity. The display is very homogeneous and if small defects persist, they are particularly progressive and especially not very important. Congratulations!
In color temperature, it is more limited because I could indeed note a Delta e in K just below 3.0 at the bottom left of the panel of my copy. I now know from experience that it would have been different on another panel. Not very serious in absolute terms but it is true that the Eizo ColorEdge are really excellent on this criterion, as for them!
And my subjective data: what does my eye see?
My eye saw a very nice screen, significantly improved compared to the old EV3237, especially with the disappearance of the pink stripes on the edges of the panel when you display a white window. The colours are largely precise enough and the panel gives the feeling of being very homogeneous even if the sensor has measured deviations which remain almost invisible. We don't see any marked areas. Everything is done smoothly. Absolutely nothing prohibitive and especially that removes its appeal to this superb screen.

- Very thin edges (compared to EV3237),
- USB-C,
- Figures after calibration with the i1Display Pro are largely sufficient but not ColorEdge,
- Perfect ergonomics (very practical handle)!
- Ecoview,
- 5 year warranty.

- Colors less precise than on the old EV3237 !,
- Homogeneity largely sufficient in luminosity but limited in color temperature on some specimens, classic for an "office" screen even if it is never visually disturbing because the variations are very progressive on a huge panel,
- "Only" sRGB but is it a defect?
- A little expensive compared to the competition but guaranteed for 5 years to be considered in the balance...

 The replacement for the EV3237 which had pleasantly surprised me by the precision of the color display to find a worthy successor overall even if I would have liked not to see the Delta go down. However, this is not a problem because the overall impression left by this panel when it is first turned on is excellent. I think its biggest flaw is a price a little too expensive compared to the competition and especially the Dell U3219Q... |
