p.1 #1 · Good monitor for accurate color representation?

I currently use a ViewSonic VA2026w, great monitor, very sharp, but I'm thinking it doesn't have the best skin tones in the world, and now that I'm getting into the wedding photog business, I'll need to have something a little better.

What monitor in the 20-22" size should I consider?

Did you calibrate your monitor? It can really make a huge difference...
I have an Eizo 1932SE BK calibrated with Spyder3 Pro, the larger ones are great too but heavily expensive.

I've been pretty happy with my LaCie 321. It came complete with a calibrator. This was a few years ago so I'm sure they have newer models by now.

Apparently HP is coming out with a monitor that is able to cover 102% of the standard NTSC gamut. Whether that alone will make it a good flat panel photo monitor is yet to be seen.
