[Leica] [OM] IMG: Globe/Temco Swifts

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Lluis,

This monitor is Matte, and I have the brightness at 25%.  I have done a 
couple of prints, and, on plain paper, they look ok.

I have also been changing the font size in my email program, so this may 
look strange.

I’m working on a iMac, monitor are too brilliant, I have reduced the Brilliance almost to 0, I have no indication of % but I think it would be about 10% and even so I have sometimes mistakes, I print my pics and this isa good proove, I also have Spyder Pro 4, but in my opinion you shall accommodate your eye to the Monitor brightness, once you are used you will instinctively adjust the luminance.

Most agree that there is not much speed to be gained by closing them unless a lot of horsepower has been added, resulting in speeds above 170 mph.  Everyone seems to hold to his own opinion about how closing the slots affects stall characteristics.
