You must have more money than I:

card unless I was well into gaming which I'm not.
And just where did that come from.

by that reasoning, all you need is a cheap display because that's what
most people have.

also, since a 1080p display only has 2 megapixels, there's no need for
anything beyond a 20 year old 2 megapixel nikon coolpix 950.

the reason to get a retina display is so that the results are better no
matter what output device the user chooses, as well as providing for a
much better user experience regardless of the intent of the photos.

If you want one, by all means get one. I stated my reasons for getting
my monitor. I thought long and hard about an NEC, but decided I didn't
really need one. I won't comment about the new Retina, because I haven't
examined one, for my needs. At this time I am very happy with my
monitor, it works well, and despite your derisive comments about my
eyesight, the images I produce with it have been doing very well in
competitions. I am very satisfied with the standing of my images, when
there are hundreds of entries from competent photographers. When I get
exhibition acceptances from PSA exhibitions, I figure others must like
what I produce. BTW Tell us when * got my monitor, and when the 28"
Retina came on the market.
When I see decent images from you, I will consider your advice about
production tools.

Your snip is duly noted.
Answer my question, before you make a statement about what I did and did
not do.
When did I purchase my monitor, and when did this Retina come on the
market.

He examined all the stand-alone monitor options.

Monitors built into a computer did not qualify. But you already knew
that, didn't you?

which excludes some of the highest quality displays available.

sure did, but the problem is that *he* doesn't realize what he gave up
by doing so. nor do you.

Didn't yo state that you are a janitor changing batteries on the

No I've never said any such thing. Amongst the £10K stock I keep I do keep
standard batteries and cells.

Then it was this post, third from the top of yours that I was thinking
of!

Where is the link?
