I’m using a Mitsubishi 930SB, very clear and sharp with all the colors adjustable, The LaCie 19" Electron blue is basically the same monitor in a different case.

A couple of monitor that seem to do well is the Sony and Samsung. Of course the are not the most expensive, but also not the cheapest by far.

ViewSonic 19" panel. Well, I dont do much print work and it’s brilliant for web design. Good price too.

The best is the Eizo CG19, although it’s rather expensive šŸ™‚ If you could live with an 18" screen, you may find the Eizo CG18 cheap (or at least cheaper), since it’s being replaced by the CG19.

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this question.

Should I avoid purchasing an LCD monitor for working with graphics to replace my current 19" CRT or would it make no difference? I have heard that CRT is best for graphic work as the colours distort slightly due to the small difference in angle on an LCD. Is this true?

Colour repro is not as good on any but the expensive LCD screens. It’s important if any of your work is for print. If it is, unless you’re willowing to buy something like an Eizo, you’re better off with a CRT I’m assuming, of course, that you’#re using proper colour management.

What about users who are not doing colour work for print media? In your opinion, is a good-quality LCD acceptable for photo and web work?

It’s acceptable if you’re never going to print it. Even then though, you will have to remember that the majority of users still have CRT and the colours won’t necessarily display with the same brightness, etc.

Then the only reason I still have for switching to LCD is the reduction in harmful radiation.

Too late the radiation has been working on his brain.

There’s also the electrical and desktop space bill to be considered…

CRT’s nowadays use very few watts when not being used (sleep), although they are higher wattage when on. As for the desktop size it’s only really the depth that matters.

You might want to address the fact that there are fewer CRT’s being manufactured these days. The supply/price/quality issues for CRT’s and LCD’s are driving more people towards the LCD monitors. A look at a few of the recent offerings in LCD’s indicates there has been significant improvements this past year. Apple and Eizo produced some pretty good LCD displays a couple of years ago, now other manufacturers are going after the color accuracy improvements.

I’d love an Eizo, but out of my budget range-

1. Which mfg’s are likely to come up with more *affordable* pre-press capable models?

2. Is the Eizo 18" jsut as good as the 19", regarding angle/color shifting?

I’ve not used the CG19, but I have the CG18. I’m really surprised by how good the viewing angle is. You can easily have 2 people looking at images at the same time with no significant difference in what they see. The viewing angle specs are the same for CG18 and CG19.

The CG18 is a bargain at the moment. I e-mailed Eizo UK for advice on whether their L768 or L767 would best suit me, and they offered me the CG18 for the same price šŸ™‚

If you intend printing you need to buy ones like Eizo or Apple. None of the cheaper ones are good enough. When they are I’ll be happy. Until ten I can get a colour accurate CRT at a larger size for a smaller price.

At present, none. You either buy Eizo, Apple etc or you buy a CRT.

2. Is the Eizo 18" jsut as good as the 19", regarding angle/color shifting?

Yes. All the Eizo’s are properly colour correctable with accurate repro, even the 15" ones.
