The number of colors has probably gone up since I was in the business of selling the display chips, but 3 years ago it was typically 64,000 total colors available. The chip maker maps the full 16 M colors to the 67K colors available, eliminating quite a lot of colors. For office work, no big deal. For Graphics work, like image processing, a real big deal! Stick with the CRT for intensive and accurate color graphics and especially image manipulation or evaluation work. Frank Filippone
