Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

I've taken this off list considering the OT nature of the questions. Hope 
you don't mind.

I'm shopping for a monitor. I cannot use an aperture grille screen because 
of some hard to figure out problems I seem to have while using them. I get 
a severe headache after an hour or two.

I've been using high-quality shadow mask monitors exclusively as they seem 
to work OK with whatever "loose connection" I have that causes those headaches.

But I've been patiently waiting for LCDs to become good enough for image 
editing and it sounds like they have according to what I've read recently. 
The Formacs have been particularly interesting but I've been hesitant as 
I'm on Windows (XP Pro). I noticed you were as well and using a Formac to boot.

So what I'm after is any migration / set up problems I might encounter. My 
system is using a NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 FWIW.

Thanks for any insights.

Michael
