In addition to the points mentioned in the other emails, I find it beneficial to have a monitor/card combo that allows for as high a resolution as possible while maintaining a good signal. I'm not talking about pixel dimensions per se (as in 1600x1200), but the actual pixel size. Smaller pixels will help eliminate "pixelation" better, the effect where one can see pixels as little squares or rectangles. A good signal will allow for more accurately defined pixels, which should provided more accurate colors. Also, stable graphics card driver software may be more important than graphics speed. I used to have a nice VGA card (TNT2- based for you computer buffs) with excellent signal quality, but the drivers made using selections in PhotoShop (aka marching ants) virtually unusable. The computer would crash several times within a few hours. I eventually switched to Matrox, and have since been very happy with the G200 and its drivers. Lars -- .~.
