Right Monitor for Photoshop

[Ann_Shelbourne@adobeforums.com]

Don't worry about "Better-Halfs" -- they get over it.
My husband is still convinced that I deliberately kicked my G4 to death so that I could buy a G5. And we are still speaking……

[George_Stark@adobeforums.com]

Well when I got home I dug out a couple of the old macs (I've been told to throw away many times) and the monitor displays the same awful purple so I'm saved! So I can save myself for another time heh.. Plus I don't have to hassal a new vid card. Now I'll see if I can use the old monitor for a second one,maybe I don't need great color if I just keep the CS tools on it.... Well something to fool around with anyway. Again thanks all for the input.

You DID deliberately kick your G4 to death... and WE'RE still speaking too.

And, what is even better, you are still sending chocolates!

[Buko@adobeforums.com]

Hey I want chocolates too! B)

[Ann_Shelbourne@adobeforums.com]

Delivery of chocolates seems to available only in Jupiter.

[Doug_Katz@adobeforums.com]

I send chocolates to Ann only.

[Buko@adobeforums.com]

Damn!

[Doug_Katz@adobeforums.com]

I send them to you, Buko, but I know you'd say you knew I was gonna send them. And besides, I wouldn't know which you to send them to.

ah..i see how it works here now...;)

[Ann_Shelbourne@adobeforums.com]

Delivery only works if you are in Jupiter.

There is only one monitor that is 'right' for Photoshop and that would be the HD 23" Apple Cinema Display. It's already proven its mettle at the best pre-press shops in the U.S.

[Buko@adobeforums.com]

I still want to know about the Left Monitor

[Mike_Ornellas@adobeforums.com]

Well Ken,

I surly hope you weren't speaking about my shop.

I'm trying to replace a few LCD's for CRT's.

But the 22 CRT's do work well with a 23 by its side.

green acres.....

Hello, George :)

I'm a bit of a low rent photoshop user .. that is I'm not proffesional
and can't afford the $1400.00 variety.




The LCD 17 inch Princeton VL1716, Dual input DVI and analog, SXGA 1280 x 1024 resolution, from Costco $399.00, is very impressive. I'm using it until my 22" Cinema Monitor comes back from Apple's repair (the lamps went out). For the price you could buy two and use them side by side. I placed the 19 inch Princeton monitor next to the 17 inch and the 17 inch had the best image (all of the options were set to the same settings). The only down side is that it is made in China.

love & peace,
victor :)

victor,

They're all made in the far East somewhere. The 19" Princeton, is it a CRT?

Hello, Tim :)

Yes, I know. We're taking a political stance against China for their many human rights violations and as much as possible try to buy items made in the U.S.A. first, followed by whatever country next and last on our list is China, Indonesia, ...

The 19" Princeton, is it a CRT?




No. It is a LCD that is a little larger but with the same pixel resolution. We placed both monitors side by side at Costco and made sure all of the settings were exactly the same. The 17 inch LCD monitor had by far the better image than the 19 inch LCD monitor made by the same company.

love & peace,

Where are you finding things made in the USA especially in electronics? I'm finding it harder and harder in my small town of Kerrville, TX to find anything made in the USA.

I can't even find a wallet made here. They're all from either China or India no matter what store I go to.

[Ramón_G_Castañeda@adobeforums.com]

Tim,

Nowadays you can't even get Fig Newtons made in the USA; they're now officially Mexican food as production is moving 100% to Mexico.

A Japanese businessman complained to me recently that in Japan it's becoming harder and harder to find items bearing traditional Japanese brand names that are actually manufactured in Japan. Everything in Japan seems to come from China and The Philippines.

Good question. Same here. I think I spend more time reading labels at the stores than actually buying something. In Los Angeles we have a large port that brings goods from all over the globe so sometimes in rare cases we get something not made in China.
