Re: [APML] Noise Reduction and LCD Monitors

Alan,

That's been the conventional wisdom but I wonder if it's time to take 
another look at that. I know what a typical LCD display looks like from 
a few years ago and CRTs were certainly superior to those.

In a darkened room an astrophoto looks like a backlit transparency on 
this display.

If you have not seen one of the Apple Cinema displays or this new Dell, 
then you should take a look for yourself.
