Recommendation monitor for CS5

[mikeysp]

I am using CS5 Premiere/Photoshop/After Effects for Hobby Purposes on a new build that consists of the following:

Win7
AMD Quadcore 955
4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
GT240 Graphics Card
Samsung F3 1TB HDD

Adobe System Requirements states:
1280x900 display (1280x1024 recommended)

I wanted advice as to weather this is a good monitor for my system (I do not need the built in speakers that come with this monitor):

Any recommendations are sincerely appreciated as I am unsure as to which monitor to get.

Is color accuracy important you?

No. - Sure. It's decent enough and the average person will be fine with it.

Yes - No do not buy because it uses a TN panel which are known for not being able to produce accurate enough colors for professional use.

Thank you for your response! Color accuracy is important to me. What are the minimum specs I will need to ensure the monitor has to good color?

You need to look beyond a monitor that uses TN panel. Basically this means you need to increase your budget.

The Dell U2311H is an inexpensive monitor which uses an e-IPS panel which may fit your needs. Here's a review:

=============================================

IPS panels are pretty good for color accuracy and depending on how much you wanna spend, they can really cost you an arm and a leg.
