    auricom...

    Having been a designer for 10 years now...starting in motion graphics for tv/film going to print and now web (with still a good amount of print in the mix) I can tell you that if you are primarily a print designer then stick with CRT's as long as you can...I held out for a long time but finally had to make the switch a year ago and I will tell you that, in my opinion and experience, CRT's are still the most accurate for print work. It takes some getting used to...as far as doing print work on LCD's...but obviously it isn't impossible since ton's of designers have been using LCD's for print for a while....but I would stick with the CRT for a while longer if I were you.

    With web work...just get an LCD and watch your gamma settings and you'll be fine.
