I have yet to be convinced that a LCD can match a decent CRT for image
processing work (or fast moving games).
The imaging expert at Tom's Hardware agrees:
"Graphic artists shouldn't even consider picking up one
of these gadgets"
Full review:
Conclusion CRT v LCD here for those who can't be bothered to read the rest:

PS As the 2nd output in a dual head system it would be OK if you could
arrange a suitable viewing angle.

Subject: [filmscanners] RE: Video card for imaging
Paul,
How nice to see a familiar face here in the filmscanners list. It's
been awhile for me, but I'm at the wrong end of a rather steep and
ominous learning curve with my brand-spanking new SS 4000 (the slide
holder for which I am now considering storing in a safe-deposit box),
VueScan version ___ [updated hourly, or so it seems--thank you, Ed], and
Photoshop. Trying to make this trek on an old Dell Inspiron 3500 maxed
out at 256 MB of RAM and using a pretty shabby 15" LCD is hardly
helping. I need some new hardware, pronto.
I'll check out the Matrox cards, for sure--especially if I build my own
box. Gateway has a pretty good deal going with its X700, and the new
18.1" flat panel is supposedly quite usable for imaging--but they bundle
it with an ATI card; if there's any interest, you can read some user
comments here:
