I am actually considering the regular old fashioned aspect ratio, not wide screen.  I like the resolutuion available.  Then again, I have to do some pitter patter of these feet to see what can be seen locally then start getting real serious.

I do want to be able to establish  a color profile and have color as accurate as I can produce.  It seems once you sell a few prints and a have a few more on order, then it does become more important to be able to be consistent in the future with new gaphics stuff.

All my thoughts can change quickly with actual exposture to some of the better monitors out there. While Samsung has some marvelous devices, my price is a bit lower than the really attractive model.   At least for now, my limit is lower.

I am not literate on the connection types needed or now available. My monitor is an NEC Multisync CRT.  My graphics card is a better Radeon one, albiet a few years old and should be up to the task.     Tom
