I’m only buying mid-level monitors right now.
The “new” large gamut monitors with fully configurable white point are
coming down in price, but I believe they require more than 8 bits/channel to
render smoothly for color photographic editing (when used with the larger
gamut).
That means waiting till software(s) and video card allows >8-bit data pipe
to the monitor, and that is some time off yet for the consumer market.  When
that day comes, I’ll likely be an early adopter.

One thought; the longer you _make_ a crt last, the more abrupt the
transition to sharp pixels will be.  I had to re-learn the display-to-print
sharpness function by holding too long onto a favorite 24” Sony.

Best regards,
John Moody

do you like it for color too? I think there are a couple of price tiers,
depending on feature
or something...
