Re: Choosing a new Monitor (was LCD Monitors)

["Konrad Poth" <kpoth@bellsouth.net>]

Color me naive.

With the color controls present I was hoping to first run Adobe Gamma, then
using one of my prints from my 1270 as a master, try to set the color
controls of the monitor to match the print as closely as possible - without
the extra expense of a Spyder.

Am I way off base here?
