Get graphic: monitors for graphics pros |
|
||
 Lara Luepke Assistant editor |
Updated February 15, 2006 Professional graphic designers and photographers need a lot more than a display with decent image quality and a pretty exterior. After all, a properly calibrated monitor could mean the difference between chartreuse and spring green--and whether you get that next contract. Traditionally, CRTs have been the most dependable choice for graphics pros. Now, a few companies make LCDs that challenge the status quo, but they do so at a hefty premium. These LCDs will satisfy the most-demanding designers and photographers; the monitor you choose will depend on your bottom line. More resources

| Review summary | Though the NEC MultiSync LCD2180WGLED features new LED backlight technology, we're unconvinced it's worth $6,700. Most professional users will be better served by other, less expensive LCDs. | The LaCie 319 has excellent image quality, but its high price and advanced features make it an LCD that only real graphics pros should consider. | The Eizo FlexScan L997 is a high-end LCD that delivers excellent performance and all the adjustability a graphics pro could want. | This is one of the best LCDs for people who need a monitor with precise color and shading capabilities. |
