Re: [APML] Noise Reduction and LCD Monitors

["Chris Cook" <ccook@cape.com>]

Aren't CRT's still preferred over LCD's for serious graphics editing, such
as Photoshop work?  Is the current LCD technology different than a few years
ago.... my experience with LCD's has always been as you shift your viewing
angle, the display's colors, intensity etc will shift.
