This eIPS panel is a superb value for the money. Consider getting it if you want a nice panel for photographic editing. But don’t forget your Huey Pro calibrator.

Yet Amazon USA will not ship very many items to Canada, mainly based on agreements with manufacturers who like to keep prices artificially high here in Canada.

Case in point … the Canadian version of this monitor is shown on Amazon.ca, but it sells through four other sellers, not Amazon itself. The prices are as follows:
