Daniel.
I´m using the new GretagMacbeth EyeOne (i1) DISPLAY for 
monitor calibration. It iworks fine and easy for  CRTs and LCDs.
Best of all, it comes with a $ 200 voucher for upgrading, which is 
good until Dez 31 03. If you will upgrade you can keep the i1 
Monitor hard- and software (or sell it on ebay).
