They shouldn't but bear in mind that you need to view the screen in a 90 degree angle. Any deviation from this will alter the apparent lightness. > As I am looking > to replace my CRT I would like to know from the list if laptops and flat > panel displays can be calibrated to the same sort of levels of accuracy as > CRTs or whether CRTs are the way to go for optimum colour management.

If you have enough time on your hands it'll do the job. It's about 20somthing minutes to calibrate/profile a LCD monitor, probably due to the adapter that needs to be fitted. I'd still recommend the new version of Eye One display (with Match 3.0) or Basiccolor Display with a squid or Eye One...
