good monitor for accurate digital photography color management?
just what it says. I am only into photography a year or so but am starting to be good enough to worry color management. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced monitor? Also I use Adobe elements 5 for editing and filing. Thanks
I agree that CRT monitors are better in color than any LCD monitor. If you must have CRT monitors, look for an “aperture grille” CRT instead of the cheaper “shadow mask” CRTs. Unfortunately these are not in production anymore in favor of LCDs and you’ll be having a hard time to look for one.
The last time I check, I think Iiyama still have aperture grille CRTs listed on their website, but the prices are pretty expensive.
If LCD is your only options, you can look for higher end LCDs that uses S-IPS panel. These are regarded as the best type of LCDs – although S-PVA and P-MVA panels are catching up pretty quickly. Stay away from the cheaper TN panel because it produces inferior color and viewing angle.
I myself using a Dell 2407FPW – which uses a S-PVA and I find it pretty pleasing. The bigger brother 3007FPW however uses a S-IPS panel. As far as I’m concern, I think the Apple Cinema Display also uses S-IPS panel.
I hope this helps.
