Thanks again for the info, Alex. Well, yeah, color is pretty important to me, since I evaluate my paintings with it, take digital pictures of those paintings, and use them on my art website and elsewhere (like YouTube: <http://tinyurl.com/6e698m>) and I make videos with Final Cut (see <http://tinyurl.com/6xdymg>). The old Apple Cinema Display HD that I bought at an auction has always done a good job for me, and after reading the article mentioned above and some other info, I'm beginning to understand why: it's one of the high-tech (read expensive) IPS-technology types (see<http://tinyurl.com/53cujw>) which are not common in the LCD world. One way to evaluate LCD monitors is to go to Amazon.com and read the customer reviews. Over and over again, monitors that get high praise from most people will be panned by people doing Photoshop and Final Cut work like I do. I guess it's like the public and photos in general (I was once a commercial photographer, so I know); most people are happy with just about any image if it doesn't look really off-color, while people who actually work with color and definition are a lot more fussy. At this point it's beginning to look like I'll buy an Apple ADC-to-DVI adapter for $100 and take the old Cinema Display over to the "new" G5.
