detail isn't what was being talked about. color fidelity was. all LCDs
calibrate properly only for the right viewing angle, and the very best LCDs
are still noticeably worse than the average CRT for dynamic range. in terms
of detail, you have a large display running at high resolution. with my new
monitor, i run my desktop at 2048x1536. the detail is there too. LCDs give a
slightly crisper image because the discrete pixels are very sharp. a CRT
can't match that, but they can be made at higher resolutions than an LCD can
be, right now. you haven't see the IBM 200dpi monitors. they are about the
same visual resolution as a high quality print.

I guess you're talking about PC monitors?? I'm using an Apple Cinema Display on a Mac G4 dual 1.25. I set my color space to Colorsynch Generic RGB. My monitor is an exact match for my prints. I previously used a CRT, a Sony Trinitron clone. It was okay, but my Apple Cinema Display flat panel shows far more detail. I can see the grain on 4800 dpi scans of 6x7 Ektachrome 100 VS film. I am totally satisfied with this combination.
