Which monitor do you prefer for a graphic artist, LCD or CRT?

Of course LCD It takes low space in desks It consumes much energy and it is very attractive, fashonable

LCD is the latest that technology offers, however there are other compatibility issues you need to take care about. Most LCDs greater than 19" (which I assume for you as you are a graphic artist) are of Digital type, they have what is called the DVI connector, but don't worry they also have the old VGA(analog) for backward compatibility. So, If you have a graphics card with DVI in your machine, go for LC else, you could fall back to CRT and save money for the time being.

Hi there! My hubby is a graphic designer and uses Macs. He has used LED and CRT monitors at work and likes both as Apple seems to have top-notch technology in all Macs. I asked him the question you posted here and he is saying to me; ask this person if the printer has been calibrated along with the monitor. If you don't understand what I mean let me know and he shall elaborate more for you. Hope this helps.
