My son has just purchased a 22" Samsung monitor. He says that for quality, features and price you can't beat it. I have looked at it quite a bit with my photos on, and I'd agree. Good value and quality.

Thanks! I AM trying to look out for costs. I'm a stay-at-home mom trying to start a photography business along with a whole bunch of people in our area. I was a teacher for 15 years and, after having my own daughter, decided to stay home. I will look up that Samsung.

Hi Aimee. This is a pricey beast, but they do have them on sale from time to time....all I can say about it is YES! Its a wonderful monitor. Again keep an eye out for sale prices. Great colour, great clarity, amazing to work with. I did a good deal of research before I bought one, and lucked out on a massive one day only sale price. Its not an Eizo or anything like that, but for the price, its perfect. Dell Computer's model 2408 monitor... 24 inch screen. Heres a link...

I wouldn't part with mine. Well until the next best thing comes along..... once I win the millions in the lottery. ;-)

My small advise : try to get LG 20+ those Monitors are really good!! Digital Fine Contrast 5000:1 great, and widescreen will help you work on Photo software!!

Many thanks

You all have given me a lot to look at. I do need it for editing photos. Thanks for all the input. Now I just need to decide if I'm willing to use my credit card just one more time! Ha ha! I read somewhere that when you start a photography business you should never go into debt. Oops! should've read that earlier. I also read that you have to spend money to make money. Didn't these people know eachother?

Thanks, again. I'm always so impresed with the people on this site!
