General discussion

need help buying a new monitor

Dec 31, 2009 11:02PM PST

Hi All,
I recently bought a good digital SLR. then realized I needed to take a course in Photoshop. While taking the course I noted the MAC monitors in school have much better resolution and color separation than the 20? monitor that came w/ my pc.
I don?t want to buy a MAC so I figured I could upgrade my screen and then buy a spyder to calibrate it.
I am looking for a good 24? to 27? unit that is not in the nosebleed price range (over 1500$)
The specs on the machine are; 2.4 GHz quad core w/ 3 gigs of memory and an Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT card. The machine has no problem handling Photoshop CS4
Any help can get w/ this decision would be great.
Thanks,
Apple 25
