Default What kind of monitor do you use?

I'm shopping for a new monitor.

Last time, I bought an Apple 23" Cinema LCD, which was great for about 2 years but now has the dreaded magenta cast that I now find out was pretty common for these things. Ugh.

Am looking for suggestions from anyone here who is a graphic designer or photoshop artist and has found an LCD monitor that is accurate for color work and corrections.

Thanks, Rodney. I do remember that thread.

I was hoping for responses from people who depend on their monitors for professional, color-critical work with this one, though maybe I wasn't specific enough.

If I research long enough, maybe the prices will come down

Check out this one:

Gateway Computers: Home & Home Office - Gateway - FPD2485W 24" Widescreen High-Definition LCD Flat-Panel Display

I don't own it (yet) but have checked it out in stores a few times. I have to say the display is slightly better than Dell's 24". It has gotten rave reviews, usually higher than Dell's version and is on sale now. Just checked a couple of weeks ago and it was $679, now it's $579.

ViewSonic's here..........3 of them - 2 CRT's and one flat panel, ranging in age from almost brand new to more than 4 yrs old........the flat panel is a great space saver on hubby's desk, but i gotta tell ya - the CRT's are definitely better for design work!!

Default Re: What kind of monitor do you use?

Now i would love to get a 24" but I don't think I could convince my wife. I love my dell 20.1" widescreen.

Home & Home Office: 2007WFP Wide-Screen Black Flat Panel Monitor, LCD with Height Adjustable Stand

The price ain't (I’m from Texas) bad either.

Glad to see someone else feels the same about this

Currently I'm stuck with the LCD on my IBM ThinkPad laptop. Hopefully I can buy a new system with CRT monitor soon

I havent found and lcd monitor that has even been close yet. I have had 3 different lcd's and none of them displayed colors right. I have 2 22" lcd monitors and i CRT monitor for my design work. If you find an lcd that works well let me know please . .
