Digital BW, The Print

I've also been using the Formac Gallery 2010 20" LCD  monitor and I find it
excellent. The innards are made by Fujitsu, for the records. I much
preferred the 1600x1200 aspect ratio to the DVD-wideformat of the Apple
Cinema displays. No problems with calibration by Optical/Spyder. Much
cheaper than the Apples were; presumably that's why they've come down in
price.
