Thanks for the info, although I was hoping to get specific manufacturer
info. I'm a pro photographer and often do color correction on digital
images, and I still haven't found an affordable LCD monitor that can
match my CRT's color gamut. I use one for color correction, and
have two others in reserve, just so I can outlast this LCD nonsense
long enough for LED technology to hit the streets.


If it's that critical, then look at name brands like Sony or NEC,
whether or not they still actually make CRTs, they do still sell them.


Such as where? Especially NEC, I've been trying to find a
source for months.

My NEC FP2141SB-BK has the same specs, but is minus the the color calibrator
and hood. Been enjoying mine for over 2 years; pix still as good as the day
it arrived. Prior to purchase, I compared mine side-by-side with the Sony
high-ends and there was no contest. Of course, YMMV. I did have to touch
up the convergence controls inside the unit to bring corner convergence to
near perfection, but that was a minor inconvenience. I couldn't find anyone
with leftover stock of my model. Better grab the one from Bates quick, if
you're looking for one of these monsters, they're going fast!
