I use a 37" HDTV that gets me close enough I can't tell from my prints from either a local lab, WHCC or even Costco. The size is great, but I might spring for a 30" apple this year, would love a little bit better display, TVs aren't made for 18hr use every day and I think its slowing starting to die

Are you calibrating that sucker? Wow... figured you'd be rocking out a dual monitor setup already.

Great monitors is something I invested in from the first go, because color work is so critical to what we do.

Yes Tim, 37" for me. Prints looks exactly as shown, calibrate with a EyeOne Display 2, works great!

All you ever wanted to know about LCD screens

I've been using a Samsung 215TW for over two years and it's been marvelous.

I'm #3 - My 2005FPW (20") is the same as the 20" Cinema Display for half the price. I couldn't be happier with the screen. Though adding more real estate never hurts

Get the best you can afford. It's a vital part of your workflow if working digital.

I really love my Eizo, not only for it's accuracy, but also the quick and simple calibration (Eizo's color navigator software directly connects to the hardware of the monitor and bypasses the videocard; you can hook up your spyder or eyeone).

I've got a 22" ViewSonic VX2245wm that I love. Color is spot on when calibrated and sharpness is great. Picked it up for under $200.

thanks for all the feedback my peeps. From the over 40 responses, not one of you said you DIDN'T like your monitor. All veried in brand, size, type and resolution yet everyone was satisfied with their setup and felt their printed images respresented what was on screen when the monitor was calibrated. How very interesting.
With that, I decided on this: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=computersperipherals&type=monitors&subtype=lcd&model_cd=LS26TWHSUV/ZA

Screen real estate meant most ot me and is why I went 26". Paid $499 for it at BestBuy, (I had a gift card). Big thanks guys.

Please stay away from TN panels... get a S-PVA or better please. Do some google searches, save your money.

Big screens with fast TN panels are 95% of the market, but the other 5% are really important.

Whilst we are on the topic of monitors and instead of starting a new thread what do people think of the NEC 24" 2490? Considering purchasing this and a spyder calibrater

It appears (don't really know) to be a very nice S-PVA type panel. Viewing angles are good, color reproduction is better than any TN panel.

Nice.

I just took delivery of the Eizo CE240W. Calibrated with an Xrite Eye One. Beautiful colors, although pricey. I wanted a NEC LCD2960WUSiSV, however, couldn't find one in stock any where.
