Ezio is a high end graphics professional brand. The difference between this and a commodity 1440p USB-C monitor from Dell/Asus/Hp/Etc is that Ezio will bend over backwards to get the absolute best binned panels from the manufacturer vs the good enough to really good grades used across Dell/etc's product lines, and backs it up with top tier customer service (that you'd only get an equivalent to from Dell/etc's high end business models).
Historically Ezio (and NEC) also have had major advantages in calibration/etc support out of the box; with the proliferation of factory calibration in quality mass market models I'm not sure if they still have an advantage here or not.
Indeed, in our radiology department Ezio is the go to display, both for our medical DICOM workstations as well as plain office screens (having ditched Barco in the latest IT refresh).
You're not Eizo's target audience. These displays, like DanNeely mentioned, are for high end graphics and color reproduction. This monitor is never meant for gaming.
This is an sRGB monitor. It's not meant for high-end graphics or color reproduction. It's a "high-end office monitor", and $1000 is a rather lot for Microsoft Word use.
My monitor, while getting a bit on in age, supports 12-bit colour and 96% of the Adobe RGB colour space. This Eizo monitor is limited to 8-bit colour and sRGB. What exactly am I not understanding? Even Eizo isn't marketing it as a professional monitor, they're marketing it as an office monitor. Their copy even talks about how easy it is for system administrators to configure them.
Since you can get a USB-C to DP cable, I guess the only reason to get this is to use the integrated USB hub without having to connect a second cable, right?
I don't get it. Who needs a big ass screen with a laughable resolution like this? And why on earth are all vendors completely failing to build in some usable I/O like a Gigabit (or faster) NIC and USB PD.

That sure does not look like a 1 mm bezel in the pictures. But then again, the pictures also look like renders.Eidigean - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
1mm of silver + 5.7mm of black = 6.7mm bezel.Kepe - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
Yeah, 6,7mm bezel around the side and top edges and 15,3mm at the bottom. Where did the author even get the 4,6mm number for the bottom bezel?dsumanik - Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - link
The marketing department that paid for this advertisement.Lolimaster - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
Frame bezel with the real inner black border bezel, its stated in the picture.How about ditch 16:9 for 16:10 or 3:2.

Hear, hear. I really hope recent trends in the Surface line (and one or two others) spur the panel makers to start making taller displays again.kirsch - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
For ~$1000 I'd have expected 4k. Maybe my expectations are out of line...DanNeely - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link

$1000 for an average 27" 60Hz 1440p monitor in late 2016 seems a bit ridiculous.Ninhalem - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link

Try working on one a week in row... and then try the same with yours. There is no other way you could understand otherwise.Guspaz - Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - link

Who mentioned gaming?This is a really nice monitor, but $1,000? No.

I don't see any "high end" features at all, except for deceiving 1mm white bezel.Gothmoth - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
get an asus and play you games kiddo.....Chaser - Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - link
Calling an EIZO monitor average is ridiculous.nehway0912 - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
Is this AHVA or AH-IPS?Gothmoth - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link
better spend 1600$ and get the CG2730 if you really need an EIZO.fred666 - Monday, October 31, 2016 - link

So can this be powered over USB-C as well?
