Not sure what the quality of resolution and colour have to do with arranging music, but one of the biggest indicators of quality is angle of view. The cheaper LCDs always have a low figure for this, 160/160. The better ones a figure like 178/178. It is not that this attribute is everything, though it is really handy to have more and not less of it, but that it tends to go with other desirable things like richer colours. If you want 20 to 24, you can get good res and reasonable everything for under $AU400. If you want real quality, expect to fork out more. I did years back and it was noice while it lasted but the fluros started flickering and went off after 3 years and now I make do with cheaper LCDs (banks of them!) which will irritate me by lasting forever probably! But they are not that bad and it is nice to know it does not matter if they bust. -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
