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

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.

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
