What Display / Monitor do you use?

I have a 19" Lacie CRT graphics monitor on one PC that I use for my photography work but on the other PC have a HP 21" LCD but its really poor when it comes to color, and can not be calibrated very well.

I need a good graphics LCD but not sure what I can get by with. I know there are some decent ones out there, hoping to get some info here to follow up on.

Thanks,
Denny

If what you need isn't there, it ain't on DVinfo.

Image quality in general depends greatly on the video card as well, not only on the monitor. But I'm with you on the general observation - a good CRT monitor is better than an average LCD, especially if we're talking the same price range. To me LCDs are a bit harsh for photo/video work, to the point where you can't bring down the excessive contrast to a usable level.

In the end it's a matter of personal preference. And of course, a computer monitor should only be used sparingly in video editing in the first place... watch your footage on a broadcast monitor instead!
