Digital BW, The Print

I think the 15" widescreen on the Inspiron is big enough to satisfy many
users, especially when you consider the high resolution of 1920x1200
which it uses. Text and graphics are incredibly sharp, clearly superior
to CRT screens, and with calibration I believe it could be very nice for
color work as well.

I normally use a 24" Sony which I like very much, so I'm not willing to
replace that one just, but I also find the LCD good enough for me to
work comfortably for extended periods of time without missing my bigger
CRT. I just worked out of the office for three days doing some design
jobs in Photoshop and Illustrator and I didn't feel the laptop was
inferior in any way, I just forgot it was there and did my work.

Colors on the LCD are more unstable. As it was mentioned here earlier
the colors change slightly depending on the viewing angle. The Inspiron
is very good in this regard however, even at close to 90 degree angles
you can still see everything on the screen without badly distorted
colors. I believe there is definitely a point to calibrating it. I don't
expect the calibrator to work magic on the screen, but I hope the colors
will get much closer to what they should be than what I get now.
