Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

I'm on a PC with WinXPPro. The only controls on the 20" Formac Gallery LCD
are an on-off button and two up/down brightness buttons. I haven't noticed
any problems with brightness, but I run it at about 250. I see no point in
trying to run it at CRT levels as some seem to want to; I bought it so I
don't have to work in a darkroom any more!

Bob Frost.
