Hi all,


I am in the market for a new monitor to replace my 12-year-old, 17" CRT. I have done a good amount of research, and I know that I really should get a PVA or IPS screen for accurate color reproduction, but I really just don't have the budget. My question is, will I be that disappointed if I get a TN screen?


I'm not a professional by any means, and I don't print at home (well, nothing important anyway -- just snapshots). What I do with my good shots is prepare them at home in DPP and PS Elements, and upload them to the lab to be printed -- they do no image processing on their side. I have gotten my CRT to a point where when I'm done editing the files, I know my prints will turn out well, even if the colors aren't a perfect match. I would be happy enough with that level of performance from an LCD.


So, would it just be a waste of money to buy a TN screen? Would I be that disappointed in it?


Thanks!
