Are identical monitors _that_ identical? I wouldn't have thought so. 
And in any case, couldn't the palette display be enough smaller than 
the image display to make identical displays appreciably more 
expensive?

My impression is that a palette display needn't be larger than a 
notebook's screen, and that someone who needs a notebook anyway might 
get a very economical - of space as well as money - workstation by 
using a desktop-replacement notebook together with a second, usually 
larger and probably better, display for images. But I agree that it 
would be nice to see the same colors on the notebook's screen as on 
the image display, especially if the notebook is a traveling 
companion for a digital camera.
