A few months ago I bought a laptop from B&H. Almost immediately after placing the order I started getting ads from B&H for the exact same laptop that I had just bought from them. The ads kept coming for weeks. It doesn't bother me but seemed like an inexplicable advertising strategy.

Why it's almost Pentax level, in fact I should take back calling it "brain dead" as that's an insult to the brain dead.

I say this because I've just pulled the trigger on a 27" monitor sold under the Philips brand, not the highest resolution but 124% sRGB IPS, which should be a major improvement over my current monitor for color matching, which until the death of my last 24" monitor sat on the shelf as a backup.

Within hours, actually less than two hours, of ordering the new monitor, I get an email from Woot, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon for what?  Why a 27" monitor of course, for more money, with a much narrower color gamut.

What the hell do they think I'm going to do buy another of them? If I were going to do that I'd get a second of the same model.

By the way if anyone is looking for a real budget photo monitor this one looks pretty good.

I'll know better when I get it, but for now...
