re [Digital BW] Slightly OT: Any Reason Not To Buy A Mac

2003-04-08 by michael meyer

minor comment: 

i have been briefly using one of the new imacs
(g4/lcd) to do some scanning. if the viewing angle
changes by even like 5 degrees the appearence of the
image changes drastically. drastically, they look like
different images. 100% different. 

i have worked with one of the 22inch cinema screen
though also; it was fabulous and, sadly, not mine. my
sony trinitron that i use currently is a great
monitor. not as sexy as the cinema screen, but very
capable. 

the point being this: i love my mac and you'll love
yours if you get one, but i would be wary of getting
an lcd screen without throroughly looking at its
performance as related to graphic work. i know others
disagree with this, but my recent experiences show me
that an lcd is not an lcd is not an lcd. if you catch
my drift. 

just a thought.
