my colleague says for photoshop work you should not use lcd flat monitors.

i have already encountered the situation where work in office looks ok on crt monitor but bring home on my plat screen and it looks different, making editing impossible.

but i cant now go back to a massive crt monitor!

any suggestions for good quality flat ones??

I use a calibrated LCD monitor with no problems. Tell you colleague to come see me if he has any issues. In general you should probably ignore people who seem to know everything yet can't back up their opinions with $.

If you want to use an LCD screen for editing you should make sure you get an S-IPS panel. Most screens today (especially the cheap ones) are TN panels. One easy way to tell if a panel is S-IPS or not is the viewing angle. S-IPS panels will have a viewing angle of 178/178 whereas TN panles can be anywhere from 140/130 to 170/170.

Here is a helpful link I found a couple weeks ago when I was looking for a LCD.

You can enter the brand, number, etc and it will tell you what panel it uses. Not All inclusive, but pretty good.

I ended up with this because of price and not a TN

I have been happy so far, but only had it a week.

Good quality flat ones?

This baby covers adobeRBG gamut. I'd venture to say it's good quality.

Some will tell you their 400 dollar monitors calibrated with spyders are good... but it's all relative.

Actually, a display that covers AdobeRGB isn't the best choice when working in sRGB... ;)

As long as you're color managed it makes little difference what color space you work in, IMHO. I use the color space best suited to my output device, sometimes that adobe RGB, sometimes it's sRgb, occasionally it's ProFoto or CMYK.
