    <pre> Seeing Burt's question on calibration using the Kodak Q-60 target (sorry Burt, can't help with your question regarding using it to calibrate an HP scanner) brought up a question which I have been pondering for a while.

    For space saving reasons, I would like to move to a flat panel monitor. I am about to take part in a QA/QC process for an photograph digitization project that I am involved in and I also work quite frequently with Photoshop in retouching images, so I need a monitor that can be calibrated and that is suitable for image editing work.

    I am interested in hearing about your experiences with a flat panel monitor and whether you would recommend moving from a CRT monitor to one. If so, brand/mode recommendations would be great.

    How do flat panel monitors compare with CRT's for viewing/evaluating images in terms of image quality, resolution etc?

    Finally, do most standard calibration programs work with flat panel displays?

    Thanks for your help. I will summarize responses for the list.
