Joe, Have been using for the past year the NEC MultiSync FP2141SB (Superbright Diamondtron), one other item to think about is your graphics card before you start sinking money into a monitor. As for flat vs CRT, forget about flat if resolution and contrast range is a concern, it will be sometime before flat can offer what a CRT does, if ever in our lifetime.

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 [Joe Dempsey] I to 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 Mark W.
