10/20   Do people in photographic or graphic arts or advertising industries
        use LCD monitors?  When my Samsung SyncMaster 204B displays a picture
        or some color graphics, the colors change when I move my head around
        the monitor.  I don't remember seeing this problem when I had a CRT.
        How do people in the above fields use LCD monitors when color precision
        is extermely important?  Thx.
        \_ you want a display with good viewing angles.  I used to know all
           the terminology.  Good viewing angles don't necessarily give you
           accurate colors.  Visit http://hardforum.com, Displays.  You will pay more.
           \_ LCD guru, are Macs better for these type of things? I think
              Macs in general have more vibrant colors, but I don't know
              how accurate they are.
              \_ The difference can be pretty dramatic.  Go to a Costco or Best
                 Buy and check out the viewing angles.  Then go to an Apple
                 store.  Seeing is believing.
              \_ google for color reproduction cinema
        \_ I don't know about now, but in the recent past (say 4-5 years
           ago) they did not use LCDs in favor of CRTs. No idea how that
           has changed over the years, though.
        \_ I worked for a game company and all the illustrators and graphic
           artists had CRTs while the rest of the company had LCDs.
