Re: LCD monitors?

[Peter J. Alling]

Dealing with Dell can be problematic.  The are great at taking orders 
and delivering product, God help you if you have a problem that's not in 
their handbook.

Not for less but B&H Photo has the *ist-Ds for the same price.

So does Adorama. [www.adorama.com].  Dell doesn't seem to be giving you 
much of a discount.

You can get even cheaper pricing from Dell if you are a student. They have
the istDS for 899.95 before discount and I must say it tempts me. It's the
one that is packaged with the zoom lens. Is that a good price or would I get
it even cheaper from someone like B&H?

Subject: Re: LCD monitors?

I have just (two days ago) got a pair of 20" Dell FP2001 instead of my old
19"
Viewsonic CRT. The new flat panels are *very* nice. I haven't done any
scientific
comparisons, but I couldn't be happier with quality. The color
fidelity is just fine,
and contrast is quite good.
The best part was that they are about ~$500 a piece from Dell
(hint: you need to go to their "small business" store, not "home or
individual",
lest you will to pay $750) -- that's what many 19" flat panels cost.
Their 24" FPW2405 should be even nicer, but it costs twice as much as
FP2001.
Oh, and to drive the dual setup you need something like Matrox P650 card
($140 or so)
Best,
Mishka

It's time for me to buy a new monitor, and I'd like to get an LCD.
   

Obviously
 

I am concerned about viewing and editing photos  on an LCD monitor. Do any
of you have an LCD monitor that you can recommend for photography? Most
hardware review sites don't seem to be too concerned with color fidelity
   

and
 

other such concerns.
Thanks in advance,
