Re: [Digital BW] Re: OT dying monitor

2004-02-09 by Jeff Magidson

I recently bought an Apple 17" LCD studio display after using a LaCie 
19" Blue III for the past few years. My original thought was to 
continue to use the Lacie for photoshop work using a dual monitor 
setup, figuring that the Apple was not good enough for critical work.  
After profiling both monitors with a EyeOne, to my surprise and delight 
I really prefer doing all my work with the Apple LCD display! I am able 
to get Wonderful WYSIWYG with the Apple display, It requires next to no 
warm up time for it to display accurate color, it is much easier  on 
the eyes, much sharper, uses less electricity and no radiation. Unlike 
most other LCD displays, the newer Apple displays do not change color 
or density depending on the viewing angle.

Anyway... after two weeks of use I would never go back to a CRT !
