Does this mean LCD monitors are on par with CRTs ? LCDs are now a lot better than before, but since I am not a professional user and I still use my CRT, I'd say as long as you can have calibrated colors and controlled results through the whole process (scan or photo shoot, image treatment, print) both should be ok. I checked high-end LCD and low quality CRT and the LCD was a clear winner on comfort even if refreshing rate of the CRT was over 75 Hz. BTW, are there any user of large recent Viewsonic LCD and CRT monitors ? I would also like to know your opinion.

For basic low-end displays (the ones you see on display in your local computer store), all those differences are still true. But you can get better resolution and better color in an LCD monitor if you pay for it. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi! I not tested today's best LCD monitors... but while there are differences in colors while you move your head before an LCD monitor, the CRT monitor is better for professional use!

I bought used on ebay a Sony CPD-G520 which has color temperature settings etc. New this class of monitor costs over $1,000 each. In general with crts you get what you are willing to pay for. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
