| 289128 | 2004-11-09 10:11:00 | I wouldn't be surprised if a top of the line large screen CRT cost more then a run of the mill CRT anyhow,Not that budget will play a big part in most descions of this nature.You obviously have to get the right tools for the job,they cost what they cost. It would be interesting to compare a high end LCD in conditions such as these..... When i say high end i mean super expensive cutting edge type of thing.... |

| 289130 | 2004-11-09 11:35:00 | Metla. Those 24' lcd screens are very nice and can be as good as as 21' crt but you are talking $4000-00 app for a top line one. You can still get 2 to 3 21" Phillips top grade crt's for that. D. |

| 289131 | 2004-11-09 11:52:00 | 4 grand is still not a lot of money for a tool that gets used every day,and that needs to be good quality. I'm sure my accountants secretary has one..... |

| 289132 | 2004-11-09 12:10:00 | Metla, Good digital flow meter cost over 4, I say buy best tools you can afford. But too many number mumbelers will penny pinch where they can, but not in their office of course. When A.C.C. adjust leveys, and come after them for eye strain, they may finally get the message. Graphics staff need the biggest and best monitors the company can posssibly afford. Space and power consumption also feature, but to many decision makers are, ill informed, and dollar driven. D. |

| 289133 | 2004-11-09 18:51:00 | > Good digital flow meter cost over 4, I say buy best > tools you can afford. That is very sound advice drb. From personal experience, using the best tools you can afford eliminates a lot of doubt about the outcomes. I agonised for a couple of years over one instrument I purchased (while the price rose a few more $K) then bit the bullet and bought one. I didn't use it much for about 18 months and had started to think I'd made a serious mistake, when out of the blue a client came along with a particular problem that needed it, then another and so on. I actually expanded the scope of my work because I bought the best and it has since paid for itself many times over . If results matter, or ouput efficiency is an issue, go for the best you can afford. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 289134 | 2004-11-09 19:23:00 | The best I have seen is the 30' LCD Apple Cinema Screen which is used in a CAD dept www.apple.com Possibly also able to be used for PC's if they can use the format |

| 289135 | 2004-11-10 00:07:00 | Now your talking, mac and graphics, that is only for the serious proffesional. The one area justifiying mac, things like the G5 with 8GB ram on a desk unit. mated with that 30" unit would be nice. Makes my 17" lcd and 19" crt 1GB ram look pathetic. D. |

| 289136 | 2004-11-10 00:09:00 | Tell me,how are graphics better on a mac? Ignoring the screen as thats a bolt on of course. |

| 289137 | 2004-11-10 00:16:00 | 3299-00 US $ + GST very roughly 7 and there is an adapter for the G5 to run two of them . I see the 20" are coming down 1299 US before you start bullying retailers. D. |
