Nope 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. -- PeterN |

He examined all the stand-alone monitor options. which excludes some of the highest quality displays available. Monitors built into a computer did not qualify. But you already knew that, didn't you? 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 lecturers wireless mice??? 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?
