I have a new Lacie Electron Blue3 19-inch waiting for a new computer.  Is 
there an "optimum" resolution at which to run it?

Helene, 
I have a 21 inch Electron Blue II and you can run it at whatever the 
res of your video card in your pc, I run mine at 1152 x 864 32bit 
color. At these settings I get a good size desktop with type that I 
can still read.
I do not believer that there is a optimum res, these monitors 
perform great at all available resolutions. I color match mine using 
a Spyder.

I am planning on getting a new monitor.  I currently own a NEC CRT 
display.  For around 700 dollars plus or minus a 100 or so, any 
suggestions as to the direction to go?  Flat Panel or convential 
CRT?  I do both color and black and white.  Thanks

I also do both color and B&W, and just got a LaCie Electronnblue 22 
and am pretty happy with it. The only complaint I have is that I 
don't like the fine horizontal lines on the screen (I think it's 
from where the masks join up) but I think that's unavoidable in a 
22" monitor.

Whatever you get, plan on spending ~$200 more for a monitor 
calibration tool. Even the best monitor will drift around over time, 
and what's the point of spending $700 for a monitor if you don't 
know the colors are as close as they can be to objective? 
Colorvision and GretagMacbeth sell such tools (I've used both and 
slightly prefer the Colorvision).
