Dear Bruce
Many thanks for lots of good information regarding the monitor
issue. I read on the Barco web site that their screens boasted an
increased gamut so its a shame to hear this is not so. Your
assertion that what you see will be accurately executed on output is
perhaps wishful thinking and as I see it it's rather dependent on
factors outside our control if we are talking print as in process
colour.
Well, I'm a control freak. I profile the press and go to the press
check. With accurate profiles describing output processes that are
subject to good process control, you'll get uncannily close. If
you're printing at Joe's One-Hour Repro and Bait, there'll obviously
be a more uncertainty.
Bruce, many thanks for taking the time to respond. I hope others
have found it as interesting as I have. Its very likely I will buy
an Artisan screen to check the drum scans we make for photographers
and designers are really as spot on as possible, and of course for
all our critical editing work. It would be really great if Sony
offered this standard of screen in the 24" CRT size as an
option....any word on that?
I'm not sure it's possible to build a monitor that large to the
Artisan specs -- CRTs get dimmer and less uniform the bigger you make
them simply because of the physics involved.
Just to wrap this all up, am I correct in thinking that the Artisan
is significantly better in enough areas to make it significantly
better for critical file evaluation and editing work than the best
LCD screens available?
That's a very personal decision. For me, the answer is yes, but I
wouldn't argue the point with someone for whom the answer is no. I'd
stick to less controversial topics like religion and politics.
Bruce
