I have yet to be convinced that a LCD can match a decent CRT for image processing work (or fast moving games).
The imaging expert at Tom's Hardware agrees: "Graphic artists shouldn't even consider picking up one of these gadgets" Full review: http://www4.tomshardware.com/display/02q1/020114/index.html Conclusion CRT v LCD here for those who can't be bothered to read the rest: http://www4.tomshardware.com/display/02q1/020114/lcd-26.html Steve PS As the 2nd output in a dual head system it would be OK if you could arrange a suitable viewing angle. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Honemann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 7:09 PM Subject: [filmscanners] RE: Video card for imaging Paul, How nice to see a familiar face here in the filmscanners list. It's been awhile for me, but I'm at the wrong end of a rather steep and ominous learning curve with my brand-spanking new SS 4000 (the slide holder for which I am now considering storing in a safe-deposit box), VueScan version ___ [updated hourly, or so it seems--thank you, Ed], and Photoshop. Trying to make this trek on an old Dell Inspiron 3500 maxed out at 256 MB of RAM and using a pretty shabby 15" LCD is hardly helping. I need some new hardware, pronto. I'll check out the Matrox cards, for sure--especially if I build my own box. Gateway has a pretty good deal going with its X700, and the new 18.1" flat panel is supposedly quite usable for imaging--but they bundle it with an ATI card; if there's any interest, you can read some user comments here: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=2034766 Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
