I've seen the same thing with other delivery companies, and the USPS.  I think they made a routing mistake.  I watched when a package sent for Tenn., went to Atlanta, New York, Hartford CT, back to Atlanta back to Tenn then directly to Hartford CT, then by ground to North Haven CT, taking

You so fancy, Larry. That's a little above my pay grade. This will actually become my third monitor, replacing an old Cinema Display I've had around since Cinema Displays still existed in the wild. Since I mainly shoot b/w, it's been fine, but the difference in color between it and the

It looks like I didn't lose anything. My haphazard method of storing multiple copies of files seems to have worked for me. It took most of the weekend to make Lightroom happy again by creating directories and moving files into them so that it could find them. One of the things I discovered was

Thanks, Paul. I looked at a number of ASUS offerings before eventually going back to Samsung to match my other monitor. Doug On 7/9/18 11:59 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: You didn't wait quite long enough. :-) The ASUS Professional series would be just what you need.  I have the PA249Q, which

I'll think about it. I don't watch much TV. I've looked at Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, Hulu and other streaming services. There's not enough there that I'm interested in watching to justify the cost. I just don't see the benefit of paying to access content I'm not going to view. When the next

It's strange ... it left Greensboro at 9:30pm Sunday night, arrived back in Raleigh at 2:30am Monday morning, was scanned onto the delivery truck at 4:30am and delivered to the local store by 10:00am. I still don't understand why it had to sit in Greensboro over the weekend other than UPS

You didn't wait quite long enough. :-) The ASUS Professional series would be just what you need.  I have the PA249Q, which was replaced by the PA248Q.  The difference being the 249 calibrates to both sRGB and Adobe RGB, while the 248 is sRGB only.  All three of their Pro series pivot to
