I'm a freelance graphic designer, so in the past I've shied away from LCD monitors. You just couldnt get the resolution out of them that you could out of a CRT.
Are they finally at a point that they are good for hi-detail graphic work, while not costing over $1K?
If so then maybe it would be worth a look-see.
