Same old same old....
I have always been under the impression that the old monitors are best for photography ie. processing, viewing etc. Nowadays, however, I am starting to stare in bewilderment at the LCD monitors... in particular the 22" Samsung. Am I losing it? |

LCD hands down. Samsung makes some nice monitors. I have one & it is awesome! CRT's are an invention of the past!

old monitors = no no, discolouration, fading brightness, inaccurate contrasts to name a few
LCD = not highly accurate (not much you can adjust besides what the manufacturer set for ya), but they do LOOK pretty
i suggest you also take a look at professional grade CRT monitors (and no, CRT is not outdated yet) ;)
cheers!

The only thing i like CRT's for is the ability to change resolutions without distortion or artifacts. You cant really scale resolution on an LCD.
For editing CRT's tend to not show hard contrast they produce blacks better. So someone on an lcd might see where youve burned and you missed cleaning it up.
As the previous said a professional grade CRT and get a calibration tool. |

I much prefer high resolution LCDs to CRT. Crisp, bright, good color.
(And when I say high resolution, I mean at least 1600x1200, if not higher. My laptop, which is my primary machine, is 1920x1200.) |

Yes they are.... They're called LED back lit LCD... they produce full 10bit gamut and over 100% of Adobe RGB. Only problem is that we have to til the prices go down.
