[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have the 20" iMac since when it came out the 24" was impossible to get. I've calibrated it the best I can and I do not have any screen problems, even though the 20" gets bad reviews. We're talking about editing and viewing around 4000 image per week, plus printing. My Macbook is a bit too bright, but I rarely do any editing on it.
