[Leica] Monitor Question

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

I like working with a calibrated digital monitor of 21" for the image, and a
second monitor for the tools in PS.  You can get a 15" LCD monitor for
almost nothing, and image quality is not a concern as long as you keep the
brightness turned down so as not interfere with the image monitor.  Plus, I
can check email or whatever on the second monitor if I am bored with the
image...never a good sign :).
