Digital BW, The Print

Now you're playing with me...   David!

Weren't you suggesting that a human eye and the little thumb pushing button thingies (though without human error) could replace the use of hardware calibration through DDC?

I interpreted your answer to Jim to mean just that - pushing the buttons on the panel display could replace what DDC hardware calibration does. If you didn't actually mean that - it came across my DDC calibrated display to read as such, and I found that hard to believe coming from you.

thoroughly confused now,

Jon
