Digital BW, The Print

You might also look at Viewsonic they tend to be reasonably priced and
excellent quality - I've used them for years for non-photoshop work and
they have been problem free.  Tim Grey who is the digital guru at the
George Lepp institute thinks highly of them as well. I suspect you may
find one in your price range. Tim also recommends the colorvision spider
for calibration, which seems to be one of the least expensive routes to
go.

I just purchased an Artisan at $1650 - refurbished units can be had from
Sony for around 1500, retail is 1799 now.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Monitor purchase questions

well as always when a question is asked like this the budget gets 
thrown out the door.. BUT as I said I stretched the budget to get to 
$400.00 See I'm not just buying a Monitor but a New PC (custom 
assembled with a 3gig HT PentIV 800fsb 1-2 gig RAM 80 gig HD with 
8gig buffer) it is being built to only do photo editing nothing else 
won't even be on the net, two printers (a Canon i960 for color and an 
Epson 890 for UT-2 B&W), a FS4000D film scanner and a Epson 3170 flat 
bed for MF and prints plus three of four pieces of software. SO the 
budget has to get divided up in many ways. But since this system will 
be replacing a 4 year old Gateway esential (runing a 700Mhz celeron 
with 512 ram and a 30 gig HD) with a gateway EVF720 monitor canon 
D2400U flat bed scanner and HP 932C printer. I'm pretty sure I'll be 
real happy with the improvement.

So I still need more imput on Monitors before I jump.


Thanks
