Apple displays tend to be a bit saturated – good for designers
but not so good for accurate softproofing of images
I tested a range of flat screen motors side by side including
lacie, eizo, and apple
The colour consistency across the screen with varying angle of
view as well the accuracy of the softproofing were both effective
discriminators and the eizo won hands down although it was slightly more
expensive.

Subject: Re: Monitor advice
I use apple cinema displays. They are lovely. I calibrate
with an eye one and the color in my prints is spot on. Some say they're too
bright but I haven't found that to be a problem.

My
old CRT lacie monitor has packed up...so I'm thinking of buying a flat screen
monitor.
Has anyone got any advice about this? At one point people were a bit snobbish
about flat screens for editing photographs...colour/contrast accuracy etc...
I haven't got loads of cash for it but equally don't want to buy any old
rubbish. What do I need to be aware of? Are things like 'contrast ratio'
important?
Any suggestions welcome.
Jonathan.
