I need to buy a new computer monitor. I have been looking at the older CRT
and the newer LCD types. Which is better for graphics work ?
I need a monitor that is accurate for graphics work, and can display a
graphics image just as it was rendered. Any recommendations ?

Well, I've been looking for a TFT monitor for some time now,  and from what 
I've heard, is classic CRT still better in showing colors.

really depends on your budget. http://www.eizo.com/products/graphi...dex.a

If you can afford an Eizo, then you could purchase an LCD. Otherwise
only a CRT is sufficiently correct in it's colour display.

I'm not going to buy an LCD for at least a couple of years.
I've got too many toys that are selling for 15% of what I paid
5 years ago.

Except for my Wacom Intuos 3. What a waste of money but I
love it !!!

LOL! About 6 weeks before the v3 Intuos was due out I bought a Wacom
"used" Intuos 2.  Saved a great deal of money and it came out the box
as new <g>
