Reduced viewing angles. I'm afraid I've lost the reference.

I'm doing quick edits and viewing of files, as I pull them from cards. By
'real' (do note quote marks) I mean the sort of work I'd probably put into
an image before doing a large print. I'm out in Colorado at the moment
(currently in Leadville at 10,500 ft :-) and the laptop is great for sorting
and burning CDs. It is also excellent for creating small jpegs of
particularly pretty views to mail to friends back home, where I believe the
weather is probably not so fine ;-))

Very good, yes, but not compared to the setup in my nice comfy office back
home. I also neglected to bring monitor calibration equipment with me... :-)

bye for now
