good monitor for accurate digital photography color management?

Q. just what it says. I am only into photography a year or so but am starting to be good enough to worry color management. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced monitor? Also I use Adobe elements 5 for editing and filing. Thanks

A. I agree that CRT monitors are better in color than any LCD monitor. If you must have CRT monitors, look for an "aperture grille" CRT instead of the cheaper "shadow mask" CRTs. Unfortunately these are not in production anymore in favor of LCDs and you'll be having a hard time to look for one.

The last time I check, I think Iiyama still have aperture grille CRTs listed on their website, but the prices are pretty expensive.

If LCD is your only options, you can look for higher end LCDs that uses S-IPS panel. These are regarded as the best type of LCDs - although S-PVA and P-MVA panels are catching up pretty quickly. Stay away from the cheaper TN panel because it produces inferior color and viewing angle.

I myself using a Dell 2407FPW - which uses a S-PVA and I find it pretty pleasing. The bigger brother 3007FPW however uses a S-IPS panel. As far as I'm concern, I think the Apple Cinema Display also uses S-IPS panel.

I hope this helps.


can the canon rebel xti take picture from the lcd monitor?
Q. im planning to buy it but im not sure....
oh cause i read in this one review that he "Would like to be able to take photos from the LCD display and have a forced flash"

A. No professional photographer I know of (and I am a working professional) would want to use the so called live view feature except for close-up photography using a tripod, and even under those conditions, using the LCD monitor to view is not any kind of a necessity.
In bright light it is almost impossible to see an image on an LCD monitor. If you will be doing primarily close-up indoor photography using a tripod, you might like the live view feature. Otherwise don't let it be a factor when selecting your camera. It is one of those relatively useless features that make for good advertising and a higher price, but really don't add much to the camera's flexibilities. And just a word to the wise... never buy a digital camera (even a simple point and shoot) that does not have some kind of a peep sight. Without a peep sight, you won't see most pictures you will take until after you have taken them.
