If you want an Eizo curved ultrawide monitor, then you have to consider Eizo Flexscan EV3895.
This is Eizo’s first 37.5 inch ultrawide, curved UWQHD+ (3840 x 1600) monitor.
This not the ColorEdge series from Eizo which is used for colour critical work. Since this is not the ColorEdge series, the monitor doesn’t come with uniformity correction, and it does not spot a build-in display calibrator. So why am I reviewing this monitor on Clubsnap?
Due to the current COVID 19 situation, a lot of people are working from home, hence it makes sense to look for a general use monitor that combines work and play (light gaming, photography and video editing).
Summary
Pros
A wide gamut monitor allows you visualize more colours from your photo then on limited sRGB or sub sRGB monitor. If you shoot in RAW format, which I think everyone should, the colour space of the raw file is much bigger than Adobe RGB. Lightroom and Photoshop support ProPhoto RGB which is a better match to RAW file colour space, which is bigger than Adobe RGB.
The colour space of professional printing paper is larger the sRGB. Adobe RGB on the other hand better covers the colour space of these printing paper. With a wide gamut monitor, you get to visualize better what the output from your print will look like.
If you don’t print, then sRGB might be sufficient.
Calibration
When calibrating this monitor, we need to turn off the EcoView settings which will change the brightness setting of the monitor based on ambient light.
I calibrate the screen to D50 and D65 Standard, (Luminance 100 cd, White Point 5000k, 6500k respectively, Black Point Native). Do note that I set black point to native in this case as I wanted more contrast. If you want to mimic the contrast of print paper, then you might want to set Black point to 0.4.
The delta E is less than 1 in most cases.

Summary
Pros
- Eizo Quality (made in Japan), stylish design, sexy curves (the white version is gorgeous)
- 5 years warranty – This is very important. I have a monitor that died on me on the 4th year.
- Ultra-wide, 37.5 inch IPS Panel – more real estate working with multiple application, display video timeline.
- Ergonomics - Curved display is a necessity for a better view angle and ergonomics when working with ultra-wide screens. Also, the monitor stand is very sturdy and allows for a wide range of height, tilt and swivel adjustments
- UWQHD+ - not 4K but pretty close
- Wide gamut (covers 100% sRGB, 94% DCI-P3)
- Supports USB C power delivery (85w) – this means less cables running around
- Multi-computer support – allow one to connect up to 3 multiple video sources and display them on the same screen at the same time using Picture-by-Picture model.
- Integrated KVM – this means when using Picture-by-Picture model, you can operate multiple computers with a single mouse and keyboard setup.
- Have Eco mode
- 60 Hz frame rate 5ms response - sufficient for office use but Eizo can do better
- Speaker - this monitor has inbuild speaker but frankly it is not impressive. I find that I prefer my laptop speaker then the monitor speaker.
- Price – well this is Eizo, so one would expect to pay a premium for the quality
