Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Mike  It was my understanding all along that the Sony was as good as it gets but I was hoping to get close for less money. However, when you go ahead and spend the money it generally works out better. I appreciate your response.

  Hi Stephen,

  I have a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB, which is the same unit as the large
  Lacie but without the shade. It's generally a little cheaper than the Lacie,
  and it's trivial to make an adjustable shade out of some stiff black card.
  Sure, it does look homemade, but it's actually more flexible than a fixed
  shade as I can slide it back out of the way if I want to show something to a
  group of people or else slide if forward to make it much deeper than the fixed
  shades ever are. Overall I'm very happy with the monitor and appreciate the
  large size.

  However... I'm a lurker on a couple of colour-management and pro press type
  lists (http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/colorsync-users/ and
  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/colortheory/). The guys there regard the Sony
  Artisan as the undisputed benchmark. The Lacies/Mitsis are known as decent
  products, but the received wisdom was that if you have the money, get the
  Artisan. Given that these same people seem to think that the (very expensive
  and widely praised) Eizo CG220 flat-panel is not up to the mark, it seems safe
  to assume that their standards are high. I realise that all this is hearsay
  but if you search the recent history of the groups you should find some info
  that is closer to the source.

  HTH

  I am about to install a new computer dedicated to Photoshop, IP, etc. With all
  the monitors out there, I am looking for recommendations as to which is best.
  I am considering the Sony Artisan-or whatever it's called now-and it's about
  $1,700 which is doable but, if there is something close for substantially
  less, I'd like to know about it. Thanks.
