LCD vs. CRT

Greetings,
I'm currently using a Viewsonic VP171b LCD and I'm pretty happy with it but
maybe that's because I have nothing to compare it to and I've heard that for
photo editing and the best graphics, CRT's still have the edge? Anyone care
to comment on this? I havn't used a CRT for awhile and I've never used one
that is digital. I'm in the process of building a new PC and I want the
best display possible!
Thanks,
Ray

In article <yJCdnQQdR54t9-vZRVn-ig@neonova.net>,
It depends on how critical you are and what you're doing.
For extremely precise color correction for files intended to be printed
on a printing press, and very demanding clients, you can't beat a
high-end CRT.
Even the top-of-the-line LCD displays on the market right now still do
shift colors slightly as your viewing angle changes, though modern LCDs
have almost completely resolved this problem, and it's unlikely that any
but a critical observer will notice these days. And the technology keeps
getting better.
For midrange color correction for press, or for home use or color
correction for an inkjet printer, good LCDs work just fine. The cheaper
LCDs found in low-end laptops and cheap flat-panel displays still have a
number of drawbacks and deficiencies that make them inappropriate for
even reasonably challenging color correction, but higher-end LCDs are
excellent.

I love my 3 Samsung 213T SyncMaster flatscreens! They offer very good
approximations of what my prints will look like.

Re: LCD vs. CRT

There is no doubt that color management, or the art of getting a print to
reasonably match a monitor image on the first try, is easier with even a
medium quality CRT than an LCD. However with tweaking a good quality LCD can
yield excellent results. As my last, beloved, CRT is slowly going out of
alignment I am researching flat panel displays myself.

Hi Ray,
This is a rapidly shifting technology, and you'll get a variety of opinions
on this one. IMHO, the age of the LCD is here, and has been for several
years. If your printouts match your display relatively closely, you are
set. If not, there are a number of things you can do to address this.
