Hi...

I have been using a 23" ACD for years. Seems I need an upgrade at this point as my workflow has elevated to the point I need more resolution and accuracy.

 

I have been using Eye One Match for years on my Apple, and still shifts a lot, and has a mind of it's own, not to mention outdated specs.

 

Looking to recommendations under the following criteria:

 

Largely personal use; some archival prints sold

Print accuracy a must - presently an Epson 3800 - use custom profiles rather than Epson in-printer color.

Under $1000

True in-monitor calibration would be nice (a la Eizo) - but not neccessary

Work environment is

Software used mostly - LR3, PS/CS5

 

Any recommendations would be very helpful. A lot of the specs on the upper range look common, so gets a bit confusing. I have always lusted after Eizo's however, most of them are cost-prohibitive. Don't know if their lower end cost ($1000-1200) are that much better than competitors that may cost less for the same performance or better.

 

Thanks,

Mike
