While I'm not an artist, I did buy a monitor that was meant for color accuracy for looking at commissions I get.

CRTs can be color accurate, but you need to buy one built for that purpose, which can be hard to find, and very expensive.

The big thing to look for is IPS panel types, they tend to have the best colors. And you can even buy color calibration tools to further their accuracy.

This is the one I bought: https://www.asus.com/us/Displays-De.....splay-PA247CV/
Just have to make sure you set up the ICC profile that they come with.

if you’re looking to upgrade and want a monitor thats catered to art/photography/video, IPS panel monitors are what you want.

You can pick up a decent IPS monitor for cheap, 23 inch should be ideal, however monitor size is just preference, same with what cable you use for them (display, hdmi)

i have two DELL S2421HN Full HD 23.8" LCD Monitors and they’re a wonder for gaming and art.

old setup for me was 15"-17" Laptop and 32"-51" tvscreen, for the new setup 2 23" LCD and a 51" 4k TV

Some old flat screen I bought for like $25 at goodwill lol

I got one of the first e-IPS panels on the market... before Apple bought the rights to the technology and they were all taken off the market. This was about 9 years ago, but thankfully the new IPS type panels are way cheaper and pretty common these days. VA technology has improved a lot, but trust me, for color work IPS is what you want because the viewing angles are still wider. CRTs are brighter than LCDs, but I wouldn't say their color is more accurate. I have a bunch of CRTs and they're great for retro computing, but I wouldn't want to use one for modern work.

My Dell 2209WA still looks fantastic even though it's almost a decade old, but I did also have to invest in a color calibrator. Out of the box, most monitors are not calibrated very well, and my display had a washed-out green tint and inconsistent greys. I picked up a Datacolor Spyder Express 2 for about $70 and it did a good job fixing my display's color, but over the years the accuracy of the Spyder has drifted and it's no longer usable. There should be a way to re-calibrate the Spyder, but the manufacturer doesn't let you do that with the cheaper models, so I don't think I'll buy one of their products again.

I'm currently using a Lenovo "ThinkVision" that was being given away by $COMPANY as surplus after they did a tech refresh of monitors inn the office. Seems to work OK, certainly a larger size than the Viewsonic monitor I was using previously.

It's the one I already use

i chose this IPS monitor when I needed to get a new one;

my old viewsonic still works for general browsing but with a manufacture date of 2008 (!!) its rough edges and wear are starting to show 😅

I like that this Acer has multiple input ports (I have used it plugged in with HDMI to one laptop and VGA to another, one-button switching between the two so i could interchange 2-monitor setups as needed without a second external monitor) but the one MISTAKE I made with this one is that it's not built for VESA compatible mounting solutions. I had to buy a special bracket thing to mount it to a swivel arm and I probably would not buy something that's not VESA-ready in the future if given the choice.

I use a 24" Acer Nitro VG240Y

In terms of color accuracy, I'd recommend a monitor with an IPS panel like the one I have. Also, use DisplayPort over HDMI!
