Either the Apple or Lacie will do a great service, but take a look to the eizo's closeouts, they're plainly amazing, even if you get one of their cheapest models (about $200) for text processing... on the other hand, if you have in mind that the Eizo's graphic arts stuff includes profiles with the response of the hardware and calibration hardware to make them match any output imaginable, plus 5 years of warranty then they aren't as expensive at they seem. Anyhoo, personally I'd avoid Benq and some other bottom-line manufacturers as they are usually a nightmare to calibrate (or impossible) and go off quickly. good hunt :) Any day above ground is a good one. ---------------------------------------------- http://luis.imaginarymagnitude.net
