In the past CRT was still king but these days, LCD are catching up. If I am wanting a quality of such, are they still expensive? For my usage I would like 2 screens or 1 screen if they can split the screen into two displays. Some people have referred me to Eizo but it seems expensive. Thanks!	Nomad (952)

Ended up with a Philips 190 P7EG, a 19" 5 x 4 aspect ratio. The grey scale is pretty neutral. There is a small amount of vertical shading, otherwise, it's good. That may not be at all what you want, but it is a suggestion. Presume you are in NZ?	rumpty (2863)

You need either a VA panel, or an IPS panel(very rare) . Avoid the TN panels, as they are best for gamers, and the veiwing angles for colour reproduction isn't as good as VA panels . This website will be your friend if you are looking for an LCD to your requirements . hardforum . com/forumdisplay . php?f=78" target="_blank">www . hardforum . com	robbyp (2751)

Sort of a compromise for gaming & photo processing. The picture on it is very nice though.	autechre (266)

I had heard some versions of the Dell 2007WFP suffered from colour banding, and Dell got in trouble with the commerce commission because of breaches of the FTA. www.consumer.org.nz	robbyp (2751)
