RE: [APML] monitors



I just upgraded from a 17” Magvision CTR to a 17” IBM L661 LCD and the difference in image quality is incredible.  Much sharper, colors are clearer, and there is no noticeable warm up time to it.  I also know have desk space J

 

To answer your questions…

 

1)       I have no idea how long it will last.  My Mag is five years old and still going strong (on the kids PC now).

2)       With the L661 I did have to set up the color management before all the windows icons and text looked sharp and clear (Display properties èSettingsèAdvancedèColor Management)

3)       No warm up, not like my Mag that sounded like a small airplane taking off and then having to wait for the colors to become “true”.

Here's a question for the computer equipment gurus...

The "new" LCD monitors that are becoming more and more popular...would anyone out there know:

 

1.    How long do they last? Do they have the same life expectency as a CRT or better perhaps?

 

2.    How well do they represent an image compared to a good CRT monitor? Do they portray color as accurately?

 

3.    Do they need to "warm up" or are they accurate from the moment that they are turned on?

 

     Info much appreciated...
