Re: Best LCD monitor/card for old eyes

to be honest josh I like the LCD over some CRTs for a couple of reasons
one is that you can move the darn thing right up to your nose if your want
I use a LCD / CRT dual monitor setup. CRT for the workspace and the LCD for
palettes, tool controls, and time lines etc. when working with imaging.
another nice deal is they don't radiate the same bad stuff as
CRT's...although I couldn't tell you if they in fact even radiate anything.
Windows? Bill gave you some tools to work with AFA accessibility. Linux
users have to build that stuff.
