Re: LCD vs CRT for a new monitor? -views sought

2003-01-30 by Stephen A. Tucker <stephentucker@hotmail

Keith,

I bought an NEC MultiSync 17" LCD1700M+ spring of 2002 for $699 less 
$50 rebate from Circuit City for use with a PC - I'm sure it is 
considerably cheaper now.  I LOVE it.  Ironically, space saving, not 
photography was why I purchased it to begin with.

I've calibrated it with the Pantone ColorVision Spyder and am 
reproducing the art work of others for extra income.  My customers 
are happy, I'm happy.  What more can I say?
