It was so sad in the mid 2000s trying to find a decent quality monitor for a decent price. You had to look very hard for a monitor that wasn't 6-bit dithered up to 8-bit.

I worked for an animation studio around that time. They stuck to their CRTs long after they were discontinued because they couldn't certify anything else--I think I remember hearing they paid something like $150 per monitor when they were still manufactured. The closest LCD was 10x as expensive.

They eventually switched to DreamColors when they were released in 2008.
