Good LCD Monitor for Photography Can anyone recommend a good LCD monitor for photography? I currently have a CRT monitor and I am looking for a trustworthy LCD monitor for color correction of my photos. Thanks.

There's been a lot of discussion about CRT vs. flat panel (LCD) monitors over the years. For a long while, and maybe even today, the recommendations I've seen favored CRTs for photo work. Notwithstanding, when I bought my new computer, I bought a 19-inch LCD (a Nuevo and, right, I never heard of it either). I bought it based on price and the recommendation of the fellow who built my computer. It's fine. When I bought my new 37-inch LCD television, I bought a Westinghouse primarily because the model I got has the largest pixel count. I'm extremely happy with this unit and would recommend that you buy your new monitor with pixel count as your top criterion. Don't buy anything smaller than 19-inches. There are lots of different monitors available. It's really hard to recommend any given manufacturer. Sony used to be the king of TV - but, no longer. So, are it's computer monitors best? Who knows? You might check Consumers Reports. Frankly, I would think that anyone responding to your question can only say s/he likes or dislikes the monitor s/he owns. Most of us just don't have more than one monitor at our workstations and, therefore, side-by-side comparison is probably not possible.

The Dell 24" LCDs are very nice. I love mine. And, Dell often puts them out on sale ... if you wait, you can get a great deal. But, remember, any monitor needs to be calibrated to match your lab.

Willie, I had the same concerns. I recently bought a new computer system, an HP, but went with the Sony SDM-S204/B 20.1" LCD monitor. I had read reviews and concluded this was a good choice. It was a little pricy, $750, but had a $200 rebate at the time. I have been very happy with using the monitor for photo editing. The move from a 17" to a 20" was beneficial.

Willie, ViewSonic makes one of the best monitors on the market. I just bought a 19" ViewSonic and it works well.
