Q. Yes, I know..."the best you can afford". Aside from that, are there monitors that more realistically depict the printed photograph? Are there hard drives that cater to photography (and do all the rest of it too...)? Websites I should check out? Thanks.
A. Well "I dont know" just dont cut it does it.
What you want to look for is a monitor with a good contrast. I dont know the exact terminology but there are monitors out there that have more shades of grey than others. Go to a decent computer shop and ask about differences in contrast. Probably a LCD monitor. Theres also ways to calibrate your existing monitor.
Follow the link bellow. Its actually a scanner calibration tool but it will let you calibrate your monitor just fine.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the "Reflection Scales" pic. At the bottom of that pic you should see a sliding scale going from white to black. You should see color gradients or steps evenly from one side to the other. If you have one end or the other all blurring solid adjust your contrast and brightness on your monitor until you get the clearest result. The monitor you have might be good enough.

How can I fix my laptop colors?
Q. I just got a new HP G42 laptop, and it runs great, but the colors just seem off, and the Windows color calibration tool didn't really help. Is there anything else I can do to fix the colors? I plan to use Photoshop and like programs on it, so the colors are pretty important.
A. If you have an Nvidia or ATI video card, look for a Color Temperature setting. Briefly, the higher temperatures look more "correct" in sunlight or fluorescent light, while the lower temperatures look better with incandescent bulb lighting.
For better color correction, check Photoshop's color profiling tools, or try a third-party solution if Windows can't seem to get the job done.
With LCD screens, it is also important to look straight at the monitor, as the color can shift if you are off-angle.
