So do you find them to be equally good, or is one superior to the other?
(Apart from the advantages of the larger size of the the ACD).
I use a Titanium for some work (coupled with an EyeLike back) and I find it
difficult to accurately judge an image. People here are talking about the
viewing angle on LCDs, from left to right, but I find the vertical angle to
be much more critical. I've found that in order to see the image with the
correct gamma, I have maintain my eye 'sight-level' at right angles to any
given area of the screen (this really goes for left right too, but is much
less critical). How do you find the ACD and the 17" LCD in this respect?
