Hi, Quoting Mark Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm interested in getting computer/monitor recommendations that are > aimed at photo editing functions (e.g., "which flat-panel monitor > is best for photoshop?") rather than high-end game play (e.g., > "which system gives higher frame rates in Far Cry?"). I've been giving this some thoughts over the last months. I've been looking at individual components to build my own Dream Machine. My last three machines have all been home built, but just general-purpose boxes. Next time I will tailor it more to my photographic needs.
Computer: Knowing that Photoshop can take advantage of more than one CPU, I would like to have a Dual CPU system. If you don't want to build something, I would recommend the workstations from Fujitsu-Siemens. They have a good reputation for selecting components that work well together. Screen: I bought a 20" LaCie screen in June that I'm very happy with. Every bit as good as the Apple Cinema screen, but half the price. I compared it to an Apple in the shop, where both screens were attached to the same PC with a Dual DVI. Actually, the 20" Apple is *smaller* than a 20" LaCie, because of the wide-screen format. The LaCie is in traditional format. Personally, I don't like wide-screens for computer use.
