Re: Monitors
You might want to check out the ASUS ProArt monitor series. I have a 24" ProArt that is seven years old and still going strong. I calibrate it about every 30 days and find there is generally little or no drift in the calibration, and it syncs nicely with my Epson P-700. When it comes time to replace this monitor I'd have no hesitation going with the ProArt again. Amazon and B&H seem to price the 32" in the $700 range. https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ProArt/ -p On 6/7/2022 7:34 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I’m considering getting a new monitor.

Re: monitors
Yeah, the Dell 2410 is the one I've been eyeing. I don't want to pay $1K for a monitor, that seems to be the going rate for the NECs. $599 seems more reasonable. For 1K, I might as well get a 27 or 30 inch model. Samsung has 24 inch models that are around 300$, but they are 1080 pixels instead of 1200, so that must have some impact at that size.

Most current quality monitors will be OK for image editing and general browsing however there will of course be those who suggest that one or the other is markedly better, but really it boils down to your needs, budget and physical constraints. No argument LCD/TFT are power efficient and occupy less volume (and desk space) than a CRT of equivalent size, so if these factors are important then consider seriously a flat panel display. If you have the desk-space you can still probably buy a better monitor for photo editing in CRT than flat panel but again many will disagree. > My use - well, lot of photography (amateur, of course) > and obviously my family members will use it for their > regular browsing on net etc etc ...

If you can, stop by an Apple Retail Store and check out the 20" Cinema Display. It's fully compatible with both Windows and Mac OS systems, standard DVI connection, and the quality is superb. They sell for less than a CRT of comparable quality ($799 retail list in the US), and have better gamut and resolution than all but the high end CRTs costing $1000 or more. They're also much more stable on adjustments. Comparable monitors from Sharp and Sony are also available.

Only I've had both for about, hmmm, four years. I've been told/read the HP monitors are actually Trinitron. I've been quite happy with the monitor. Only now the horizontal hold is going. Actually, not sure what it is called. It's not exactly vertical hold, but sometimes boxes coming up on the screen (dialog box type of things), the right side of the box it is not always straight. It curves in and out a bit. I keep adjusting the horizontal stretch part of my monitor and that straightens it up for a bit. But it means it is going to get worse. No point in having it fixed, since some monitors are really cheap now. Only I was looking on the Net and LCDs are selling better. Personally, for extended use, not just doing photography, but programming, using word processing/spread sheets, I prefer a CRT. It seems much easier on my eyes. LCDs, to my eyes, don't have enough "depth." And a lot of LCDs are expensive. The ones that may be easier on the eyes are, anyway. This CRT at Circuit City seems okay. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Monitor-MX705-/sem/rpsm/oid/ 126673/catOid/ -1 2965/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do But I also want to get something decent for processing digital photographs. It would probably be fine, because my current HP monitor is fine. And I use my monitor for a lot more than processing photographs, photography probably works out to only 10-20% of my use. Or less. Just wondering if anyone has that particular model, or has some other recommendation. Also looks like if I want a CRT I better move quick, because they seem to be disappearing.

Re: Monitors
i think getting something with a Trinitron in it at the right size from a reputable brand name and use your calibration hardware/software on it is all that is really needed. the critical thing for a photographer is the color management. built-in color management hardware has its advantages. Trinitron tubes are good enough and monitors these days have super high refresh rates so that isn't a problem anymore. the major brands are mostly interchangeable except for the color management support. there are reputable alternatives to Trinitron picture tube monitors, but they tend to be expensive. i think that the Mitsubishi professional monitors with built-in color management hardware are a good value.

Re: Monitors
I've priced some. The LaCie is affordable, the Sony Artisan is more than I want to pay.

I think it is a .20 dot pitch, or some such. It seems to have very good colour is quite stable, and supports a 120hz refresh rate. It is a CRT flat screen. William Robb

> Any > recommendations for a high quality CRT monitor (Flat screen a must!) > Thanking you in advance for past favors Last December my husband got the Samsung SyncMaster 957MB, 19 inches, $300 from Amazon. It is very nearly a flat screen. He didn't go for true flat because he didn't want the two wires on the screen. Nate does a lot of PhotoShop work on the monitor and he loves it. Nice color and contrast. I like the Iiyama brand of monitors as well. I've been using one for almost 6 years. They're supposed to be as good as Sonys but they're quite expensive. Amita

If you've got the time (several months, that is), check out all the links at efg's Color Page - SUPER links to Color Management: http://plum.ia.polsl.gliwice.pl/~DIP/delphi/Library/Color.htm Maris - Original Message - From: "D. Glenn Arthur Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2001 1:02 AM Subject: OT: Monitors | The day the current PUG went up, I took a first look at each photo | on the Macintosh beside my bed. | | Since then, I've had it up on the Sun downstairs (in the half of the | living room designated the server farm), occasionally hitting the | "next" button if I'm down there to work on one of those machines, or | pass through that room on my way to the kitchen. | | It's interesting to note just how very differently some images work | on the different screens. (I'll get around to looking at them all | under Windows later, when I feel like resetting one of the Windows | boxen to 16-bit colour (and thus fewer pixels -- Mars Needs VRAM!).) | Some definitely look better on one than on the other. Some just | look _different_ and convey a different mood. Makes me wonder what | some of the prints look like, and which monitor comes closest for | which images. What I find especially interesting is that some seem | sharper on the Mac, and others seem sharper on the Sun. The colours | all seem more vibrant on the Sun, though some images wind up being | too dark overall. | | "Kasia" (Dominik Ataman) looks a bleary, muddy mass of grey on the | Mac. Pretty on the Sun. In-between and artsy on a VGA at 256 | colours. "Descending Plane" (Jostein Oksne) is _gorgeous_ on the | mac but too dark to see the plane's trail on the Sun or a 256-colour | VGA (with my usual brightness settings, of course). "Hoopster" | (Nick Wright) _is_ a silhouette (as someone suggested it be turned | into) on my 256-colur VGA. | | Obviously it's not just the Mac/Sun/Windows difference (they use | different gammas, right?), but also the particular monitors in | question and where I've got the brightness and contrast knobs | turned, but it would be interesting sometime to put all three | systems in one room, side by side, and page through a PUG an | image at a time, showing the same image on each screen. | | I'm sure this isn't news to most of y'all -- it wasn't exactly | a surprise to me, either -- but at the moment I'm fascinated | by it. Not that the difference exists (I've known about that | since the first time I edited an image on a Mac for someone to | view on a Win95 system), but just how it affects different images | differently. | | -- Glenn | | - | This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
