		Do you score challenges while viewing on an LCD (laptop/flat-panel) or a CRT (big ol' cathode-ray-tube) monitor???
 
 Just wondering what the majority of folks here use, as I do my photo-post-op on my laptop to get them just the way I like, but sometimes become physically ill when looking at that photo later on any CRT monitors. |

		I use my LCD here at work for all my editing and voting.
 I often check and make sure it's calibrated as close as can be also. |

		Had a 15" LCD.  Put it on my wife's computer.  So I no longer use it.  Now a 21" CRT.

		A CRT until the DVI to DVI adapter comes in so I can hook my 20" ACD to the computer.

		LCD/laptop, probably why most of my comments received state that my pictures are too dark!

		Unless I'm on the road (which is pretty often) I always vote from home, on my CRT. When forced to, I vote from my laptop. I have the laptop set up as well as software-based calibration allows, but there's still the issue of shifting gamma with changing viewing angle, which settings don't affect. This laptop is much betteer than my previous one, however.

		| I only use LCD now, I have the 23" apple HD and a 19" Sony LCD and sometimes I use my 12" powerbook, I only see CRT screens when I go to school, old 17" Dell CRT´s uncalibrated and just bad screens, I used to have the 21" Sony E500 CRT, excellent screen, but I like the 23" Apple HD better every day :) |

		| It was a laptop LCD for me, but I recently got a new CRT and I'm planning on voting using that from now on. Or as much as possible, at least. |

		I have a Nokia 21" CRT and a Mitsubishi 18"LCD and use only the CRT - which is hardware calibrated every 14 days - for viewing and voting. There is a difference (even though the LCD is also hardware calibrated) and it does concern me when submitting. I know I'm seeing calibrated images, but as for others...???

		CRT if at all possible. I don't think I'll ever go LCD for design work.

 The screen is flat, not convex, but there's still a big tube behind it. |
