Re: OT - New monitor on the market

2009-02-13 by Clayton Price

Richard -
Can you even discern a difference of 8 degrees in the viewing angles  
of two different monitors?

You really should be paying attention to the gamut and tonal  
qualities of a monitor. Black & White is just as important
as color gamut, and IMO, a slight difference in viewing angle would  
be the least important reason for purchasing a monitor.

<<<It's the only monitor on the market in its price range with a 178  
deg viewing angle and it has a non-glare surface.
I believe the gamut is not as good as the more expensive ones, but if  
we are printing primarily Black and White, I think other  
considerations like viewing angle might be more important. Some more  
expensive models, like the Samsung 215TW, which have been well  
reviewed, have only a 170 deg viewing angle.>>>
