Right, here goes the cat into the pigeons... Unless you have a vision defect or migraine related problems that make it difficult for you to use a CRT, avoid TFT/LCD monitors like the plague. I don't care how much I sound like a broken record on this subject but the plain truth is that the only choice for professional standard graphics work is a CRT monitor, as steveshanks said above. There are several undeniable reasons why this is true: Bit depth. LCD monitors cannot handle 24 bit (or higher) colour modes accurately. They fake it. To the average punter this is generally good enough but it's laughably bad for graphics where precise colour matching is needed. Native resolution. Most LCD monitors are at max 1200 by something or other and they really do not like changing from their native res. A CRT will happily take just about anything you throw at it. Sure, you can get a 17" LCD panel which has the same viewable area as a 19" CRT. Big deal, all you end up with is great big blocky pixels. Weird aspect ratio. CRTs - and the majority or software - are configured to display an aspect ratio of 4:3. LCDs cheerfully ignore this, which means your graphics will be distorted somewhat. So, LCD monitors are great if you want wrong colours, blocky pixels and distorted shapes.
