We all find you worrying, but...

NO, professional monitors will have accurate colors (prepress people use
them). This certainly is one of the weak points of LCDs though.  OTOH,
LCDs have perfect geometry, which makes them very good for CAD sorts of
applications.

....and you believe *anything* set up by some numb-nutz in a store? Most
stores I go into have every monitor set to 60Hz.  That doesn't mean that's
all they can do.  This LCD monitor (1680x1050) looks crappy on my Windows
machine because the 8 year-old  graphics card doesn't understand the wide
format. Does that make the monitor junk?

Look in your skull.  Everything should become clear.
