We are in the process of spec'ing out a computer system to run 3D Studio release 2.0, AutoCAD release 12, and Animator Pro. Our intent is to do architectural renderings and walkthroughs. Our desired output is hardcopy prints and possibly, in the future, videotape recordings of the walkthroughs. Our plan right now is to use service bureaus for the hardcopy prints. We'll wait for the printer prices to come down. We plan on spending ~$4500.00 total for the monitor and video card. We are leaning towards the new Hercules SuperStation XP video card. I'm having a tough time deciding on a 20" monitor. I would appreciate any input on which monitors you think are best. Picture quality is a priority, within our budget. I expect to have ~$2500.00 for the monitor. NEC & Mitsubishi offer monitors with adjustable color settings so that one can match the monitor colors to an output device. Is this a "must have" option for what I want to do? Thanks.
