raivo_vanags Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hi! I�m concidering to buy a new PC and Monitor. My dilemma on monitors are 15� LCD vs. 19� Triniton type or to push for 17� LCD? I have read somewhere that LCD monitors still don�t offer the same colour spectr and other features as Flat screens for graphical works (as picture editing and video montages). Any thoughts, facts and opinions would be most welcome. P.S. I�m an amateur and it�s just my hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_fisher1 Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 If you have the desk space I think the 19" Triniton. Have yet to see a LCD to match mine. Would also really not want to go back to a 15" monitor. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_lupin Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 get yourself a good flat screen 17" CRT (not TFT flat panel). 19" is huge and pricey - I'm starting out and my 17" CRT is perfectly good for critical photo editing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_andrews Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 The TFT screens I've seen so far have AWFUL colour. There's very little discrimination between shades of red and yellow, although dark greens can be slighty better than CRT monitors.<br>I still wouldn't go for an LCD screen until the technology is more mature. Though I suspect it'll just be a case of us getting used to the brash colour of LCD screens, rather than LCD screens actually getting better.

the_macman Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 If you do photo and you want LCD, get Apple (they do work on Windows machines as well). This company abandonned selling CRTs over two years ago, and since they had a huge and profitable market share of photographs and publishers, it made sure they didn't lose it with its new LCDs... the result is stunning: while it's generally true that CRT beats LCD, but it doesn't beat Apple LCDs in terms of fidelity for a variety of reasons that haven't yet been reproduced in the industry. I sold hundreds of those to pro photographs, pro Photoshop users, etc.. , I never saw one of them regretting it's not a CRT. http://www.apple.com/displays/ Otherwise, stay with CRT... generally speaking you just can't go wrong with flat Trinitron.
