>>I am starting to consider replacing my aging CRT with an LCD that

EIZO and NEC monitors.  Does the Sypder2 Pro work with these or will I
have to go with their caibration tools?

Spyder2 hardware can be used with Eizo's Color Navigator software to 
utilize their internal monitor tables on their top end displays. Or you 
can use the Spyder2PRO hardware and software with any of these monitors 
to calibrate and profile them, without any proprietary internal stuff.

That depends on that you mean by "full color management capabilities"; 
typically CRT users expect all the controls of a CRT on an LCD and are 
dissappointed to find that most of them have no actual hardware-based 
controls at all, except for a backlight control. Those who love to get 
under the hood and mess with things aren't happy to find so little 
under the hood. For instance, most LCDs have no true brightness 
adjustment, so you can't match the black point between two LCDs. But 
since most reasonable quality LCDs have pretty similar black points, 
its not the end of the world. Typically, with LCDs, you set the 
backlight to the appropriate level, and let the software control the 
whitepoint, gamma, and graybalance, and the profile define the color 
primaries, and that pretty much takes care of it. Not as much fun as 
the old days when you could change the condensor cap, clean the points, 
and adjust the spark gap on the plugs, but most of us have learned to 
live with electronic fuel injection and/or LCD displays. <G>
