    Display Calibration (for Photography)

    I think you would be best off with the sypder4. Most of the older colorimeters were not meant for the wider gamut monitors, and have issues with these monitors. For software I use Color Eyes Display Pro or BasicColor 5. I have EyeOne Pro, DTP94, Display 1/2, Spyder 2/3/4, and some older ones...

    NEC LCD2490WUXi2 vs LCD2490WUXi

    If you are looking for a good place to buy, try Spectraflow or Fineye (Chromaticity) who both sell the Eizo monitors and also our color management experts. I have heard very good things about the NEC's, for color retouching they offer a very good price point. What is your ultimate end use for...

    Notice Difference Between IDE 7200 and SCSI 15000?

    I have owned and do own all kinds of drives-from 4.3gb 7200 rpm to 147gb 15k scsi drives in single drive, jbod, raid 0, raid 1, raid 5, and raid 10 from 18gb to 7tb. Each has it's own use and I have tailored each array or drive to be the most cost effective as money is an object to me and most...

    Notice Difference Between IDE 7200 and SCSI 15000?

    First off, always start with a prayer to the scsi gods. A terminator terminates the scsi bus but you would mostly need one if you are connecting to a external device. Your scsi host adapter supplies power to the scsi bus and the terminator (can be active or passive) stops the flow. Most...
