21" CRT for graphics AND programming
Hello,
This is a long shot -- but I'm looking for people working in the area of GRAPHICS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT who may face the same problem I'm having in terms of finding a good 21" CRT monitor that meets the contrary needs of this work. The monitor must have rich, bright color (for best displaying the graphics output of the software being developed) but it must also have very sharp text (for 8+ hours of coding per day). Unfortunately, from my experience so far, these two qualities do not coexist in a monitor. Aperture grill (trinitron/diamontron) monitors have great graphics quality but fuzzy text, while shadow mask monitors have clear text but washed-out colors. I myself develop 3-D animation software. I've already tried two professional quality AG monitors: the Viewsonic p220f and the Cornerstone p1750. In both the text was so fuzzy I could not work -- both were shipped back. My video card by the way is an Nvidia quadro fx 1100. My experience with these two monitors has led me to think I really need a shadow mask. I hooked up my computer to a friend's low-quality shadow mask and saw how much sharper the text can be. I don't want to sacrifice graphics quality, however... Can anyone suggest a 21" monitor that provides the best balance of image quality and text sharpness? What shadow mask monitor has the best image quality? What AG monitor has the best text quality? What do you use? I'm more interested in current models than discontinued ones -- I don't want to buy refurbished. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a frustrating problem and I don't want to keep ordering monitors only to ship them back. rabbitrun |
