By the way…netexpress has the Eizo CG2700x, and he’s very happy with it. Maybe he can/will chime in.
As said before, I use the CG2700S and VERY happy (using 27” iMac next to it as my computer…so Mac).

Thank you! Also for the interesting links!
I am curious if you were able to make a decision on a new monitor?
If it is the Eizo CG2700X, I would love to hear your impressions.
I have been using the Eizo CS2740 for the past two years, but in that time I have replaced my ancient tv screen with a LG C2 oled, my ols smart phone with a google pixel 8, and my 15 year old laptop with an asus pro art P16, that has a 4k oled screen.
Th e good thing is that these three high resolution oled displays are all fantastic, especially coming from old lcd displays.
The downside is that the Eizo CS2740 nows looks painfully low contrast, and although still a very good screen, the oled displays are much more immersive and the eizo screen just looks a bit dull.
The thing is that there are not yet mature oled displays for graphic work, although asus is pioneering in this area, they are not at the level of eizo CG displays.
The CG series has higher contrast, relative lack of deep contrast being the weakest point of the CS2740, making images look a bit hazy and missing "bite".
Should you have the Eizo CG2700X, I would love to hear what your experience with it is.
What's your use-case OP? Do you print? Is your goal to have screen match print, or simply something you can calibrate for output going to web, tablets, phone? If it's screen matching print Eizo is great, if you're output is screen/web/tablet Apple or LG monitors are worth considering.
I have the 4K Eizo 27" and I've tried a LOT of other monitors including the LG 24" / 4K monitors made specifically for Apple computers. My use-case is having monitor match prints, so something that could be properly calibrated and color managed / color profiles is very important to me.
The flip-side to get a monitor to match prints, you end up having to run it at like 100 - 120 cd/mm^2 brightness which makes the display look "dull".
The Apple / LG monitors are optimized for screen output, likely meant more for video than photos and they look very vibrant but not likely to match print outputs.
Personally, I went with Eizo 4K over the QHD (2560x1440) because I use this monitor on macOS and you can get 'Retina' modes only with 4K without any kind of fractional pixel scaling, so the user-interface looks nice and sharp. Retina has also been tuned for '5K' monitors which are either Apple or LG.
I also use LG QHD(2560x1440) monitors on computers where I do engineering work, which is either Linux or Windows and QHD works damn well (4K works great on Linux too BTW).
