Thanks for all the helpful SPECIFIC tips – and for explaining the terminology associated with choosing a monitor. Your site is an excellent resource – especially for those of us with limited technology backgrounds.

this article talks alot about what makes a good monitor for general use, but misses the points important for true graphic artists.
Some types of LCD’s (the lcd’s themselves, not the backlighting) are much better than otehrs – and they are generally not the fast sub-5ms ones…

Vim that’s of the big problems with LCD, and it screws me over everytime. Mostly when dealing with gradients. The problem is the viewable angle which he talks about here, and most LCD’s are hard to gauge the exact viewing angle unfortunately. The back light contributes to this as well. I have to disagree with this article because instead of having to make sure of all these features, I can just load the design on my CRT, and it will be more accurate than thinking you have the right LCD. I love lcd, but I still think both are need. If you’re not seeing your design from all of your users perspective, you’re not designing how you should be.

I have been experimenting with LCD monitors in my graphic arts work. I get frustrated by the color shift from the top of the monitor to the bottom. It sometimes makes it difficult to gauge accurate color on-screen. It’s not quite as crucial for my web site design, however.
