Re: [Digital BW] Re: CRTs not being made, what LCD for future?

That's good to know--but the info I found today showed (I thought) that the Apple Cinema worked with PC as well.  Ah---but just did some more searches on it---and found what you found--that it didn't 'play well' with PCs.  Found enough about this to warn me away from it even with its glowing reviews.  I'll look at this LCD--I'm trying to do my research before I need to--as my monitor is approaching the age of yours next year and I expect to replace it.

  My Sony 21" CRT was on its last legs (couldn't hit the high and low
  calibration points, type a little fuzzy, etc.).  It was about five years
  old, which others on this forum have advised is about the useful life.  Last
  week I bought the Samsung 213T, which is a 21.3" LCD.  I calibrate with
  SpyderPro, and it works well on the LCD, i.e., the prints (Epson 2200/IP6)
  look like the monitor.  It swivels so you can use it in portrait mode also.
  I have it plugged into an analog output (digital card is on the way), and it
  looks great.   It has a native resolution of 1600x1200.  I paid $800 at
  BestBuy.  I was thinking of the Apple Cinema 21", but it appears you really
  need a Mac for that.  Anyway, I'm happy and have some more desk room.
