Desktop Monitor for Photo Editing
It's time for me to get a new and better desktop monitor. What's the state
of the art today? Any suggestions or advice as I go looking? Thanks, ~Ray |

The state-of-the-art hasn 't really changed much for CRT. I bought two cornerstone p1500 21" from some corporate desk clearing for the price of a good 17". You'll find plenty of them on ebay. Get a tool like quickgamma and calibrate it, and it'll be as good as they come, if not for the slight curve in the screen. People say that CRT is still better. It sure seems to consume a whole lot more electricity than LCD. In fact, the electricity bill will probably catch up with you if you go for CRT to save money. They're far more durable though, and if you're buying second hand, CRT is the one to go for. If you have plenty of money and buying new, well, it's up to you. They're probably all good anyway, just calibrate whatever you get. |

Most 17" crts use from 90-135 watts,so it depends on the light bulb.A 21"
crt will use quite a bit more.I have several highend flat panels 17" to 21",but still use my Vision Master Pro for editing.
