I'm a graphic design student. I use a Samsung CRT monitor at home to design, but the school monitors are all LCD. The things I design at home look brighter at the school, the blacks turn to brown and the colors always change.I wonder which one is more accurate for printing? Should I make my pictures darker to be printed like what I want?
nothing you can really do like he said to different types change your screen its to old and my LCD its TRU color yes it was 85 more than most but its a clearer screen
CRT monitors are far superior in terms of color accuracy.They are all around better monitors, they don't have ghosting in games and work well at different resolutions where as LCDs only are good at their native resolution. The downside is that you have a a chunk of technolgy that weighs quite a bit on your desk clogging up your desk. I've had CRTs that weigh well over 100lbs. There are also higher quality IPS LCD screens that offer much better color than the ones most used. They are also much more money. It's likely your school does not have these so the color on the LCDs will be off from true color. Some people also prefer LCDs because they are usually brighter and give a more crisp image, but ofcourse that really messes up dark contract colors if you're really into graphics. Even most of the people I know who are really into graphic design and gaming have gone to LCD monitors just because you get such a big work area without much desk room. They are also tons cheaper since no one makes CRTs anymore.
