The larger the screen, the higher the resolution it needs for images to appear the same size and in the same detail (M Freeman, 2003: Digital Photography). I will reserve my comments regarding CRT monitors when compared to LCDs for another occasion, but it will suffice to say that the rules about the quantity of colour display applies to both equally.
Dear Inno
I have been following this thread and am getting more and more perplexed buy what you are saying! Jack Lowe has gone to considerable lengths to put forward the advantages of carrying out image editing on a screen that gives one the best opportunity to make critical editing decisions, and the reasons for profiling in general. Much of what he has suggested you have scorned or poured cold water on.
Have you stopped to ask yourself this. Why on earth do many of us take a huge amount of trouble, and pay big money out on these big screens, some costing far more than your laptop. We must surely all be barking mad or perhaps there might be something we are getting that you are not <BG>
I am beginning to think that perhaps you have not actually worked on a really top quality calibrated CRT or LCD screen, or that really your imaging requirements are not as demanding as you would have us believe. It is a matter of what is suitable or adequate for your particular needs, but to continue to insist that the route you have taken is the pinnacle of excellence is perhaps rather misguided at best!
Where did you get this from?
In some areas of the spectrum, the capabilities of your 2100 will far exceed the gamut of your PB monitor. A cinema display, for example, will enable you to see more (but not all) of those colours (particularly cyans, magentas and yellows).
If you were to buy a copy of the ColorThink software you would be able to see for yourself how the various gamuts stack up on against the other and indeed compare them with various monitor profiles . The answers would be there in front of you to inspect the differences.

I have visited the above web site but no new America is discovered. The colour calibrations kits that are marketed all over (by all means, it is a good idea to have one) but it is not inevitable in other to calibrated your PowerBook monitor.
It is not a colour calibration kit, have another look and you might be surprised.
different from another.
Most manufacturers produce generic profiles but each and every 2100 is
I certainly disagree. Did Epson tell you that?
With respect, if you had been involved the profiling of printers at any level or understood the basic concepts then you would not have said this....some studying is in order perhaps!
