3 years ago I got myself a refurbished 21" IPS monitor from NEC for about 180 € and after a calibration it is more than good enough for to get nice prints out. I would not mind a bigger one of course 🙂
 
As it is, the Apple Cinema Display 27" LED works beautifully, and I'll give this one to my partner when I buy a new laptop with Apple Thunderbolt display 27" in a month or two. It's convenient and very easy to use with my laptop.

if I were doing pro-video work, I'd get an EIZO.
 
LG L245WP.

Has an S-IPS panel.

Need to get it checked again but hasn't needed calibration yet.
It was calibrated when I bought it 🙂

It matches the output from my printer nicely.
And that's what matters to me.

Great! Do you have a green or amber version? Is it the original VT220 or one of the later versions that support graphics? What is your experience with the speed of the serial connection for image manipulation?

The DB9 serial port is especially convenient to connect my LA120 (DECwriter III), with which I print all my images.

I have used Dell Ultrasharp displays for a number of years now. I just recently got a U2411 24in display to replace my aging 1800FP. I keep mine calibrated and they work splendidly, brilliant colors. Every time I put a TN panel next to my IPS displays its astounding how much better the images on the IPS monitors are.
 
Replaced my old Phillips CRT a few years ago with an HPZR22w. Was looking for a decent LCD monitor that wouldn't break the bank. I think I got what I wanted except next time around maybe a 24 inch model.

I use a ViewSonic 24" monitor, model VG2436wm-LED. Really like the colors and resolution. Also switchable into portrait mode, as needed.
 
I used to have an EIZO CRT monitor. Very sad when it eventually died. Now I have a dirt cheap Fujitsu which is fine. Fact is that unless you are digital printing where you require exact colour matching, you don't need a fancy monitor. Nearly all new monitors are reasonably well calibrated to sRGB and if you are any good you can tweak it by eye to be plenty good enough.
Only one current eizo works precisely at the correct contrast ratio for colour printing and just about every new monitor uses contrast ratios for online video viewing and not printing. So given that you get prints which you consider fine when the monitor is producing the wrong contrast ratio only goes to prove you don't need a super dooper calibration system.
 
I use a Samsung 990DF CRT to edit photos on becasue it shows fine differences in tone far better than my LCD monitor(s). I have an ASUS monitor I display the editing menus on to keep the CRT screen free of everything but the image.

I too went with the HP ZR series, I picked up a HPZR2740W, I watched a professional digital post processor / printer at work, in Portland, OR - who was using it alongside an Eizo, his comment to me (and a deciding factor). "For the price it's the best 27" IPS monitor out there, you will need to calibrate it, and do it monthly, all monitors drift, but it's just as good as my Eizo" I like it as well. I really wanted to like the Apple Cinema Display, the build quality is very nice, but I just couldn't deal with the glossy surface. 27" is a real treat. But overall I am very happy with the HP ZR series as well.
 
17" MB Pro with the matte screen. I have an old Apple display to the side for all the tool panels and etc. I also run Bridge on that monitor. I find it calibrates to match my 3880 quite reliably with the Color Munki. Brightness can be the only issue, but I've gotten that under control with windowshades.
 
wonder how good LCD-TVs are these days as combined monitor and TV. anyone using them to replace traditional computer monitor?
 
NEC PA271W 2560x1440 via DP connection.

Doing some research before the actual decision, I found that you really have to pay attention what connection to use (or you can use, depending on the video card of your PC) Don't buy a fancy display and find out later that you can't really use it at it's best settings because these are not supported by your desktop.
