jeff_ford Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm sure is a whole can of worms - but recommendations on here will be better than most I'm sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_powell3 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 seen plenty of threads on this in the forums...looks like lacie electron blue IV is a top choice...some contend that the mitshubishi/nec is basically the same monitor for about $50 cheaper... i've also read many people prefer to buy locally, to avoid any possible damage to the monitor during shipping. plus a $75 and up shipping bill is avoided. personally, i'd go with the lacie. and of course a monitor calibration system of some sort...but that adds another $150-300 onto the price of the monitor. as i said, lots of threads on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark__5 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 it all depends on how much you want to spend. I just picked up a super sharp 19" viewsonic with flat screen for about $220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maureen_m Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Tony,<p>For the sake of clarity, are you asking about a flat <i>screen</i> (CRT), or a flat <i>panel</i> (LCD) monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_rodney1 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Eizo have the best of the LCD display systems if high accuracy is key (which it should be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug_dolde Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 EIZO 18" Coloredge. I have the 21" Coloredge and it is just amazing. Like watching HDTV. I'd never own another behemoth crt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 This is answer to Gabor's question. I just bought a ViewSonic P95F-B2 19" pro series from Gateway for $254.95 with free shipping. I did a lot of research and standing in front of store displays and for the money it was the best CRT as far as I could see the LaCie 19" was really nice but not any better from a spec point of view and the only thing it had the ViewSonic didn't was the hood. Which I sloved with a little matte board for about $3.00. I couldn't be happier. The money I saved will go towards a good color calibration system.

jeff_ford Posted June 27, 2004 Author Share Posted June 27, 2004 Thanks all. Needing 1600 x 1200 I ended up with the Viewsonic 201b 20" LCD. Its simply astonishing, its the best LCD for running avi files I've ever seen. Superb value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
