In answer to your earlier question about dot pitch, it really only matters when you are combining monitors on one desktop and wish to match the scaling of the displays. The number of colours a monitor can resolve is important but more so with TFT displays. The reason being is that since they are entirely digital adjustments including calibration are constrained by the absolute number of colours the display can render. IOW is it's by nature quite blue and you prefer a warmer (ie 6500k) image then the number of colours will be reduced by the digital offset applied in order to set your operating colour temperature. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
