I'm really disappointed in my new 17" Apple Studio Display. Despite the totally flat screen, it isn't nearly as nice as my old 17" Applevision. The text is either smeared (bold fonts) or pixellated (normal fonts), the color is off, and the standard 1152 x 870 DTP mode has been eliminated. (I tried getting this mode back using 3rd party utilities, to no avail.) Clearly the text and color problems could be related to the ATI Rage Pro card, and I probably will wind up getting a new CRT display *and* video card. So any recommendations for a high end set up? Would I be better off waiting to see if Apple comes out with anything better or should I go third party?

You just can't beat the new Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 19" monitor. Flat, sharp, clear, bright, and sweet. A Radeon graphics card is about the best overall option right now.
