What monitor do you look at corals with

[EnderG60]

tthere is alot of discussion on how some websites edit thier pictures, but i think it can be effected greatly by the kind of monitor you use. So im wondering what do you use, LCD or CRT or what?

I use a Color Spyder2 (http://www.amazon.com/ColorVision-Spyder-Pro-Studio-Win/dp/B000658EQG/sr=11-1/qid=1163824400/ref=sr_11_1/102-6136305-2037750) to calibrate my main monitor (Windows has a limit where dual monitors can't be calibrated if they're on the same graphics card :(), which is a Dell 2005FPW. But of course, unless I took the picture myself, I have absolutely no idea what color space or color temperature a picture was taken under. It can be relatively safe to assume the color space (sRGB for most consumer and prosumer digicams), but white-balance is a much bigger issue with digital photography and color representation.

At least if I use a color managed application (like Photoshop - IE and Firefox don't count, but Safari does), I can see the image in the correct color space. But that doesn't prevent someone from playing with the knobs in Photoshop or ACR (if they use raw).

Mine looks like a small TV, made by Dell. It is what I call a "monitor", but not the super thin kind many have today. Is mine a CRT? I thought those were the old kind that were one color - all characters in green. ;)

Its a CRT (cathode ray tube), they got fancy in the 1980s and added red and blue phosphors and a mask or grille so you can see things in other colors ;)

I have one of each in a dual monitor setup. But there's no appreciable difference in color between the two.

I don't think I really understand where you're going with this question...

I've got two Apple 20" widescreen flat panels.
