Digital BW, The Print

I would also chime in that cheaper monitors have a much higher degree of brightness variability in a vertical direction which makes head placement critical when judging brightness/lightness for prints. You can only tell if this is going to happen by actually viewing the monitor in action at a store or a friend's house. Some are very good with no variance and some are awful and you will drive yourself nuts with brightness/lightness match problems. I currently have some problem in this respect and am struggling a bit on what to do about it without breaking the bank.

Cheers,

Scott
