Any designers here using LCD's?
 

I'm thinking about going from my NEC FE950+ (CRT) monitor to a 17" LCD.

I'm a designer, and I've heard reports that using an LCD isn't good for graphic design.

Btw, I'm looking for a good LCD monitor under $450 that has a good contrast ratio, good colors, and crisp text. Ghosting in games isn't a major deciding factor for me.

Post your model of your LCD.

Noone uses LCD's anymore?

I think for designer is CRT better...
Look at LCD and CRT and compare it...

On LCD looks colors another, but I didn't use new LCDs.. I used only older type of LCD...

btw. I recommend EIZO!

Hi, I use Apple Cinema Display HD "23"
Better I did not see:)

Hi Geoff,

Half of our designers have LCD's - we get them when we can afford them :)

If you design for 40 hours a week, your eyes will hurting from spending too much time infront of a computer.. I know mine do!

So if you're planning to spend a lot of time designing, I reccomend you do get one, I'm on one now, and once you have one you can never go back to the shitty dull regular monitors

Hope my 2 cents is useful to you

sure - I run 2 IBM T860 18' inch LCD's - and have no problems.

Mind telling me what LCD model you're using?

I use a Viewsonic VX2000. Works great..

I do most of my own design work on a 18" Dell LCD. Agree with BDS, if yer gonna be looking at a monitor 40+ hours a week, LCD rules.
