Are iMac 24" screens suitable for displaying accurate colours in print work?

Q. I've been using a CRT monitor (Sony Trinitron G520) for print purposes and was wondering if anyone would recommended the iMac screens for this line of work? Can the colour accuracy be trusted like my CRT? Many thanks.

A. Not really, CRT is still best for that, LCD hasn't finally caught up.

There are a couple of workarounds.
You can get a colour calibrator thingy, you stick it on your screen once a week (the colour depth drifts over time) and it will tune it back.
The other option is to get a colour swatch or chart and stick to that as your benchmark (that's what I do).


Does a higher contrast ratio of lcd monitor presents more accurate color for printing?
Q. Does CRT has higher contrast ratio compare to LCD?
Need more accurate display to assist me in computer graphics illustration.

A. If you want color accuracy without spending $1,000 on a monitor, get a CRT monitor and use a $100 color calibration device like a Huey (etc) to set the colors right.

There are so many combinations of monitors, printers and image software available that it is not possible to make a general statement about color accuracy, except that cheaper CRT's are more accurate than similiarly priced LCD's.
