Digital BW, The Print

Agreed, LCD's are the way to go and yes, CRT's take up
an awful amount of space. However, second hand CRT's
are an excellent value and the price keeps dropping as more
and more people upgrade to LCD's. I got a 21" Trinitron for
$100 which would have been unthinkable 5 years ago.
As far as calibration, Gretag's Eye One or Monaco's
Optix (consumer or Pro version) seem to be more in 
demand than anything else at the moment.
As far as picture quality is concerned, there are many
entry level LCD's misleading consumers into thinking
that the image has to be better just because this is new
technology and it looks sleek. So one needs to do proper
homework before making a decision.

Good luck in your search !

  All in All the majority of the people arent going to process their own 
  film and with the majority of the places that use to process film have 
  stop or no longer give 1 hour processing and with today gotta have right 
  now that want work, so digital is right now I shoot I see and I can 
  print.  I bought a Epson Picture Mate for my wife to use with her Cannon 
  5mp camera, she has shot and printed 100's of shots not counting the 
  ones she did'nt print of the baby, this could not have been done.  And 
  you know what they equal any picture for the 1 hour photo as far as 
  grandma, aunt etc is concerned.  This time next year the high end LCD 
  will be better and much cheaper my 3 21" which were gettine dimmer and 
  dimmer needed to be replace so I went looking for 21" CRT and not 
  finding any local I would have to order. By the time I did all that they 
  would cost more than the 21.3 LCD and take up three times the space, 
  Seeing as I am not a professional design artist and looking to some B&W 
  and Color fine art printing the SamSung more than met my needs.  I have 
  two computer hook up to it and all it takes to switch from one to the 
  other is pressing one button on the montor.     Now the question is what 
  mid range calibration software/hardware do I buy ??
  Thanks   Anthony
