update- I just found the purple fringing by super sizing the image on the 21 incher- he was right- there is some.......2 CRT's- Nokia-ViewSonic 21 ViewSonic 19I am in the market for a new monitor and would like to get your
opinion on what to buy, so here goes...
1. What type of monitor do you use, CRT, Flat CRT, LCD???
2. What size is your monitor???
3. What callibration tools do you use (if any)???
4. Are you happy with the colours that your monitor displays???
Look forward to your posts.

I thought I was- Nokia is less saturated with a lighter color hue,
more natural color. 19 ViewSonic has darker colors and is harder on
the old peepers but looks good. From a post in STF I have been
informed that a WA lens shot I posted has purple fringing- I can't
see it on either one of my monitors. Maybe I need the Spider (or
new, younger eyes).

It did wonders for my wifes CRT monitor (brightness and color correction). And I was able to verify that my LCD is properly displaying colors and allowed me to determine the right brightness. Now the images on screen match the brightness of the photos that come back from ofoto.

It is easy to use yes.Hi Shay,
I have been looking at purchasing the spyder but have been a little
hesitant... is it easy to use?
I think it excels at CRT monitorsI live in Australia so it is about $400, not small change... Will
it work just as well with CRT monitors or do you really need an LCD
to get the best results?
I don't use an inkjet printer, but there would be more steps to get the printer calibrated.Even once you have used the Spyder is there many more steps to
callibrating your monitor and printer?
--I appreciate your answers...

I have a Mitsubishi 19" monitor. I calibrate both monitor and printer using the procedures described at http://epaperpress.com/psphoto (click on Color Correction > Calibration). What I see on my monitor is very close to what comes off my ink jet... so, yes, I'm a happy camper.

See my earlier posting on the subject for my reasons: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1009&message=3232839
Only if you REALLY REALLY need the lower energy usage (less heat) and smaller footprint should you consider an LCD display at this time. This assumes you're serious about your digital imaging.
