A 19" and 15" LCD is on my desk top for photo editing. There is some color difference between the two LCD’S. I don’t have any trouble with having good color displayed on both desktop LCD’s.
My two Lap Tops with LCD’s have poorer color than the desktop LCD’s. So, they are used for storing photos on a trip. Even so, if you are out taking pictures, one can still tell a lot more about the composition of a photo by using a laptop, and it is certainly better than looking at the screen on the back of a digital camera to see if you have a good shot.
A printed color photo is never the same exact color as shown on any monitor that I’ve owned, LCD or CRT. After a while one learns the differences in the monitors used for viewing and the print results whether it is a CRT or LCD.
I would never go back to using a CRT for photo editing, or anything for that matter.
No doubt, in years to come, TV screens and monitor screens will all be flat screens as result of further engineered improvements.

You are correct in your guessing. The one with the glass screen is a CRT. Your lap top is a LCD.
I don’t know about tablets.

No problem as I’m still not sure what you mean. I do have an older desk top
with a "glass" ? screen and I have this one a lap top and when I touch the
screen it looks kind of wavy, so I’m guessing this one is either LCD or Plasma. The screen on this one is flat I think the other is some rounded.
I’m taking this one in and having XP put in it so I can get the new version
of Elements. The computer needs worked on anyway. Does the new version support the tablet for version 2?

Cathode Ray Tube, Like the older computers and the older TVs, not LCD or Plama.

I have just bought a new laptop with a 17 inch wide LCD. Great resolution and landscapes, but fat faced portraits are a problem.
OK
if I rescale the image beforehand, as long as I remember to revert
it
before printing (otherwise I get thin faced prints). Mfrs help desk can’t offer a solution, but I would like to be able to adjust the screen output as appropriate to make things simpler, even if it
means
buying an external adapter (if there is such a thing.)
Using control panel and settings only produces a string of ‘letterbox’ resolutions, and doesn’t allow me manually increase the pixel height.My OS is Windows XP
Anybody solved this problem and can help?
