Digital BW, The Print

Diane :  I have had for years 21"crt but I am not expert not really my 
industry.  I started coming here to learn about B&W printing.  My crt 
started dieing. I went out and bought a couple Samsung LCD. I started 
with the calibration but have decieded that I need to upgrade that area 
in the softwear and hardware not sure which one to buy yet, I dont want 
a 1200 dollar area as I said not a pro. that being said, when I started 
the research on LCDs I found certain areas need to be look at.  Pixel 
size, contrast area, refresh area.  And most of the montors that I have 
look at in the 1500 and less did not equal to the Samsungs that I was 
able to get, I got a 21.3" LCD and a 19" the 21.3 allows me to hook to 
computers up to it,  I run an OS/2warp box and a xp box. Hook the dvi up 
to xp and analog to OS2.  Hook up the 19" to a win2000 box.   Have been 
pretty happy with the results so far.  Cant wait to get better 
calibration software.  The advantage to LCD is a 19" is 19" not 17" only 
problem is 19" only does 1280x1024 :( as I use to run 1900x1400 on my 
old crt.  The 21.3" will do 1600x1200 and can be rotated to have it 
1200x1900 which can have some added benefit.   Anthony
