[Leica] Portrait monitor advice

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Tina, I got this one because I thought it was good value for money. Quite a 
lot of connectivity and other features. The area is very
good for photoshop work. That is, enough room for menus etc and still very 
good picture size. I have had no difficulty calibrating
mine for brightness nor colour. I use an older Spyder. Because of the size 
and due to the nature of the display there is quite
noticeable brightness shift off centre. Almost all of them do that. The 
Eizo's are the only exception that I have personally seen.
However I find that I can use it without difficulty and it works well for 
soft proofing. Previously I had dual monitors  but this is
more convenient as far as space and setup with Windows operation. Having 
said that, it is not as good as a dedicated high end
graphics monitor. It doesn't claim to be. I would rate it as a very good 
value and featured general purpose monitor.  The native
resolution is high at 1920 x 1200. So picture size is very good. That does 
make for small on screen text. You can adjust that font
size to make up for that. I'd buy Eizo if I could justify it and afford the 
top models.

Cheers
Hoppy, who's awake at 4:00 am for some reason.

Hoppy -  I am shopping for a new monitor and the Dell is one I have looked 
at.  How do you like it?  Some reviews say it is too
bright to color correct.  What do you think?

Tina
