Color accuracy of the FS2333 is spot on.
Top-notch build quality and five year warranty from EIZO.
Built-in handle on back for easy transport.
Light matte coating does an excellent job of reducing glare without any loss in clarity. No "dirty" screen effect.
Plenty of digital inputs (2 HDMI, 1 DVI) if you have additional consoles or devices.
Remote control comes bundled with the FS2333, a uncommon feature among LCD monitors.
Image quality is excellent; text is crisp and easy to read thanks to the light matte PLS panel (PLS is Samsung's version of IPS).
Sturdy stand with height adjust, swivel, and tilt functions.
Viewing angles of the PLS panel in the FS2333 are just as good as IPS with no fading or loss of detail at extreme angles.
Comes with three colored stripes (red, silver, and blue) so you can personalize the look of the FS2333 to match you setup.
Custom designed circuitry that has almost no input lag (0-2ms, 0.8ms average).
The FS2333's PLS planel is a true 8-bit panel with 10-bit look-up table (can display 16.77 million colors out of a 1.06 billion palette).
A fast response time (3.4ms, comparable to TN panels) combined with virtually zero input lag make this the best IPS monitor for hardcore gaming.

Stand can't pivot 90 degrees for portrait mode.
Very light amount of backlight bleed; nothing major and only noticed in a dark room with a black image.
Settings menu can only be accessed with the remote, no menu buttons on monitor itself.
