Anyone see the Tamuz Imperial Eagle monitor?

I'm having trouble finding black specs. I know nothing about them so I'm not badmouthing here... claims and actual performance seem to rarely coorelate in our industry. I still wish the good ol CRTs were still the standards (minus the bulk and G. Distortion), the second closest blacks I've seen are from Pioneed Consumer Kuros and I can't wait for FED displays to appear in our industry. I still want to see test these displays anyways.

The geometric distortion on the BVM D CRTs seemed pretty low to me... a qualified tech can go into the menu and adjust all the points/grid on the monitor, and place magnets inside the monitor to fix the little errors.
Best blacks I've seen is from the eCinema DPX. In comparison, the CRT blacks aren't so good because the CRT flares. Field emission, from what I saw, looks like it has better blacks than the CRT (because it doesn't flare) but on a full frame of black, it is noticeably lighter than the CRT. Not sure what the story is there, but it seems their 20000:1 contrast ratio claim is a little outta whack. In any case, we'll see how their production monitors do when they start shipping.
In the future, perhaps we'll be bitching about how bad the blacks are on a broadcast CRT.
2- I'm not so sure that specs will accurately capture how good a monitor is. e.g. some broadcast monitor manufacturers will come out with modulated LED displays... these will have very high sequential contrast ratio (and possibly simultaneous contrast ratio)... but this technique (theoretically; haven't seen this yet) causes wonky halo artifacts. Manufacturers probably won't put that on their spec sheet. Same thing with black frame insertion lowering contrast ratio.
Then again, some of the current manufacturers don't put down sequential contrast ratio specs, even though they have them. (You could drop a four letter s word right here.) Probably because they know it may compare poorly to CRTs and competitors' products.

Well no response :/
Got a quote from ecinema within 24 hours though.. Thumbs up.
