Finally getting rid of the CRTs on our workstations on both PCs and Macs. Looking for suggestions on decent flat panel displays from 20 - 24". I have found for the most part, a standard LCD will display much better on a Mac. The PCs with assorted video cards have a HUGE difference in quality. We are MUCH more picky than the standard office worker in that we need reasonably accurate color throughout the screen and, (here is the important part) the color needs to be somewhat close Regardless of a small change in viewing angle. It seems several of the flat panels we have tried will look completely different from the top of the screen to the bottom. A square of PMS 300 blue will look like cyan at the bottom, but then turn much darker as you lower your viewing angle. The same monitor will look and act much better on a mac, but still nothing like a CRT. I know this will be a learning curve, but there must be some interaction of video driver cards and monitors on a PC that is causing this. Just cannot find any good info about it. I would love to find a flat panel and video card for a PC that behaves like the display on the new iMacs. We also need dual head cards for sidekick monitors for our pallets. I suppose I could buy one of the Eizo ColorEdge CG monitors for $1600, but I just assume for that price they are fantastic. Is there anything that is pretty good that is reasonably less expensive? Thanks
