Bill,
I still contend that an NEC wide-gamut monitor that supports hardware calibration with SpectraView and the NEC-branded colorimeter is the best bang for the buck. My P221W has 10,500 hours on it and it still calibrates perfectly every time. No dead pixels, no flickering, nothing: it just works.
If you're interested in the Eizo, take a look at http://www.chromix.com/. They are an authorized Eizo dealer. I've purchased items from them in the past and find them very easy to work with. Eizo monitors are expensive, but I have heard really good things about them. I'm not sure what their warranty is, though, but I'm certain the folks at Chromix will provide any info you need.
