New monitor choice - majority of work in B&W
« on: January 15, 2010, 08:13:02 am »

Hello everyone,

My older NEC CRT has served me well over the last 6 years but expired yesterday. This puts me in the market for a new monitor and I've been reading around on LCD, LED, wide gamut etc.

I wanted to post here because I have a consideration that I've not seen discussed too much. I am a serious amateur, and shoot mostly landscapes (workflow is RAW capture, conversion in LR into Prophoto RGB and printing out of an Epson 3800). Most of what I would consider my 'serious' work is black and white.

In the absence of any other inputs that would make me consider a different monitor, my reading of the literature now has me leaning to a NEC 2490 or 2690.

However I wanted to post the question here....is there or are there any particular considerations that I should bear in mind when looking for a monitor that will be particularly well suited to critical local adjustments in grayscale?

Thanks for comments,

Dave M
