Digital BW, The Print

I want to thank you guys for your advice thus far. I started looking into  the Eizo. It seems available only online and I don't want to blindly buy something I've never seen nor tried. I also thought about the Samsung but remember using one years ago and hating how I lost so much detail in the blacks but maybe technology has changed since.

Funny, though, I noticed that no one here as mentioned Apple's cinema displays at all. Are they that bad or is it just a matter of expense? I plan on taking a CD of some of my images to the Apple store to check it out but if there is a lot of opposing to that, I'd like to know what it's about.

One last thing - how cumbersome is using a laptop with a separate monitor? It seems like the laptop screen might get in the way. How do you set it up for use? 

By the way, this is just for my home studio.

Thank you again for all your advice.
