Need Advice - which monitor?

[Liz]

Liz,

Calibration will make a world of difference. Even the least expensive calibration tool on the market will really improve the quality of photos you eventually print and make consistent your viewing.

Either orient the screen to keep light from reflecting or add a little shelf above the top of the monitor to block ambient light. Changes in ambient lighting will affect calibration!!

The other solution is to get a piece of the anti-glare material that comes in several forms and put it over the screen.

Let us know how this one works for you, particularly 30-90 days from now.

Best wishes and happy editing

Thanks! I was under the impression that any calibration software that does a good job is very expensive. I have no clue what I'm doing here.

Do you have any suggestions as to which software? Something that is easy/simple to use - and does a decent job - for a reasonable price?

Also, any thoughts on what kind of anti-glare material that won't affect the images? The screen is very bright when I using it for work.

Thanks for the help!

Liz
