* eizo/eizou means "footage" or "image" in Japanese

Didn't know about this company but looking at their history here[1], they used to sell under the brand name Nanao in the US. Nanao made great monitors with consistent high reviews.

Recent Siemens MRI scanners come with Eizo displays. I had not heard of them previously, but they do seem pretty nice.

I'd choose an Eizo over LG, definitely.

I think LG makes their own panels but Eizo doesn't? I think it's probably better buying a digital signage display from LG, Samsung or the likes.

There are a small handful of panel manufacturers, that's true.

Companies like Eizo typically have agreements where they will take the cream-of-the-crop panels though.

I used to have a two-monitor setup with a Dell (? not sure) and an Eizo, both using the exact same panel. I started with one monitor and then got the Eizo. The difference in picture quality and eye comfort was absolutely jaw-dropping. Dell looked and felt like a complete junk in comparison.

Make what you will of this, but it's not just a panel per se, it's also how it's integrated and used in the whole product.
