Have put my retro 21″ Viewsonic Graphic Series G810 monitor through its paces. The color, brightness and contrast accuracy is unmatched. Once calibrated, the color of the prints coming out of my Epson 1400 with OEM inks is a perfect match. The monitor is a bit “soft”and I have to watch the sharpening action in Photoshop so as to avoid oversharpening. I have developed a quick 2- monitor setup where I do some light sharpening on the Viewsonic and then move the image over to an LCD monitor to see how it views on that type of monitor. So far, so good. If you get a chance to snatch up a big CRT, do so. Most recently made computers support a 2-monitor setup. Your work area will get crowded but you’ll really enjoy the color accuracy that a CRT provides and you can also toss away those “prints too dark” blues goodbye.
