Absolutely true.  Your requirements may be very different from mine.

BTW, the February 2002 issue of MacWorld has a comparison review of 37
LCD and CRT monitors, including the Sony and Apple models described in my
previous note.  You might also be interested in reading Bruce Fraser's
article "The Color Challenge" in the June 2001 issue of MW.  In that
article he tried some very high end LCD and CRT monitors, and commented
on their strengths and weaknesses for use in a professional shop.  Of
course, Bruce's tests were probably done a year ago, and since then the
products may have undergone revisions or been superceded by new models.
