solune's Journal: Need help with a monitor selection

Well my venerable NEC FE700 has started that slow decline toward death. Before it fails completely I figure I'd better get a new monitor. Here's my requirements:

• minimum 17" — I do a lot of photographic work and like the size. 19" would be ideal for the space I have to work in, but the ultimate arbiter is my wallet (which leads to the next criteria)
• Cathode ray — I've heard that besides being cheaper CRT is better for color fidelity. Is this true? Either way, at the prices CRTs are going for, and the lightness of my bank account, it looks like CRT is the way to go.

If you have any suggestions, or warnings, I'd love to hear from you.
