Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some advice from all you hardware and image processing gurus here at UMSF

The time has come to replace my old CRT monitor for a new one, and I'm quite tempted to try a TFT monitor this time.
Thing is..

I work in graphic arts as an illustrator, and good and correct color output is absolutely mandatory.
I've always heard that TFT monitors have poor color reproduction, hence I always bought CRT ones.

Nevertheless, after so many years of development, I wonder if modern TFTs still have that handicap.

Do you use CRTs or TFTs while crafting your gorgeous Mars images?
Do you find that modern day TFTs are up to par with CRTs?

Thanks in advance guys
Cheers

Dell WFP2407-HC here - and looking to get either a second, or a WFP3007-HC. There are some STUNNING 24 and 30" LCD monitors out there - LaCie ( as ever ) do some stunning ones more than able when it comes to pro-photo work -you just have to spend the money. The Apple ones are arguably over-priced. Using even a cheap calibration tool such as a Pantone Huey will help massively.

One of the best monitors I ever used was the behemoth 24 inch widescreen Sony CRT... my 24" Dell is, imho, a better display, takes up 1/4 of the desk space, and consumes a fraction of the energy. I could never go back
