I'm looking for a high quality CRT monitor on which to do my Photoshop
work. I've heard very good things about the LaCie Electronblue IV and the
Sony Artisan, as well as a particular model of NEC, the model number of
which escapes me right now. Has anyone any experience with these monitors?
Any recommendations for a high quality CRT monitor (Flat screen a must!)
Thanking you in advance for past favors <LOL>
A friend of mine has been trying to get his hands on the Sony Artisan, but he can't convince anyone to bring one into the country as Sony is no longer importing any CRT monitors into NZ. I've heard its an excellent monitor for an astonishingly low price (relatively speaking).
Try looking at Barco... but I don't think their screens are completely flat. And if you're not keen on the price of the Artisan, you won't even want to think about Barco ;)
FWIW I'm currently using a pair of calibrated Philips 109P screens. The blacks could be a little better but I'm not complaining - the first one was free, and I bought the second after the price halved due to the booming popularity of LCDs.
I'm currently saving for an Apple HD Cinema Display because these two screens are far too big (and are probably cooking my brain). LCDs also have a much shorter warm-up time while consuming less power. Unfortunately the really good ones are really expensive.
