[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Flat screens are in my oppinion still no good for photographies - but if you use them create a profile and calibrate the screen - have different profiles for diferent screens To Peter Dzwig - unless you are really well of and can afford a bacho screen with external calibration tools wich again is overkill if you are "Just" going to print on an epson then go for a lacie/D2 monitor 21" - they are more colourconsistant then Dell monitors and cheaper than Sony and available both in grey and black. Itried one in black with a special cover to pull over top and sides to leave ambient light out but the only effect was afeeling of cluastrofobia. I you have photoshop and a color calibrating tool from you screen manufactor you will be well off - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith R.
