Hi everyone,

I still lament over the decision to dump my LaCie Electron Blue III 22" CRT monitor. It was approx 8 yrs old. I don't miss the bulk or the weight tho. I am now shopping for a good solid monitor to be used for graphics, retouching, etc. I need it to be a good size, sharp resolution, accurate color and not break the bank.

Any recommendations? What's good out there? What ones should be avoided?

Thx for your help!

HP has the LP2480zx (24" 1920x1200) for about $2500 for color critical work.

If you don't want widescreen there's the Eizo L997 (21" 1600x1200) for about $1750.

Depending on how hardcore you are the new U24 something something Dell that is like ~$500 looks to be pretty nice. IPS panel and all.
