i used to have a 19 crt viewsonic pf790. now i have two 20 dell 2001s. they are better in every respect. best, mishka On 6/26/05, Boris Liberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! 17 for photo editing? are you sure you want to punish yourself? if money is tight get at least 20 crt. if not, get dual 20 lcd. As far as I can tell, lcds suck in luminance range unless I were to have an unlimited budget. So far I've been editing all my photos on 17 and experienced no problems. Though of course I drive mere Toyota Corolla too :). There is one more constraint that I did not mention, but Mishka, you make me mention it - it is that of space :). I hoped my old screen would hold off until half deep CRTs would become common. No such luck. Thanks for your suggestion. As usual, I have more things to think about. Boris

Of course, there are better (and more expensive) choices than Iiyama. Until recently, I would have agreed with you about the Iiyama. However, my 455 recently blew a small (custom) component and guess what? No longer available. I am distinctly unimpressed. When it worked, however, it was as good as the much higher priced brands. -- Best regards, Alex Sarbu - Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/

I'll second the Syncmaster vote. I've got a 753DF flatscreen CRT that's just beautiful. I had an opportunity to use an SGI Superwide 1600SW a few years ago. If you can find one (and the necessary adapter), they're really wonderful little monitors. Unfortunately, they've been out of production for several years. Most modern video cards will support them. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- You have to hold the button down -Arnold Newman

Hi! My trust Mag 786 FD is getting older and older. I think I would let it retire. Thence I'd be looking for a 17 screen (CRT, meso thinks) to use for my photo editing... I'd appreciate any advise. Especially w.r.t. to image quality of course. My PC is relatively modern Athlon 64 at 2800+, 512 MB of RAM (soon to become trice that number) and some modern graphic card based on Radeon 9200 Pro chipset with 128 MB of video memory. Thanks. Boris

If your card has dual outs. you can retire your old monitor to beside your new one and have a place to store your palettes. William Robb
