Have you ever properly checked the display quality of the LCD you habitually use? Very often people become aware of previously unnoticed problems in display quality when they run a check using test patterns and so on.
This article talks about the basic points used to assess LCD display quality, and shows you a simple way to test it.
With only a single monitor, I wanted the largest I could get, a 30″ LCD. After quite a bit of research online, and real-world use of the Apple 30” Cinema Display and a Dell 30” UltraSharp Widescreen, I was prepared to make a decision based on several factors. Rather than give a run-down of tech specs you can get on your own, I decided to give you a side-by-side comparison from a typical user’s perspective.
If you’re not a fan of the glossy LCD screens Apple puts on all new laptops, iMacs and the 24″ LCD display, this product is for you! RADTech offers ClearCal, an anti-glare film for glossy displays, that significantly reduces glare, is easy to apply, and can be removed and washed a number of times. I have a glossy-screen MacBook Pro. While I’ve not really had a problem with the glossy displays, save for a few working hours in bright sunlight, I can see how a product like ClearCal can be a life-saver for photographers and designers who work outdoors, or in an office with a large window or bright light source behind them. ClearCal costs $20 for laptops, and $25 for the iMac 24″ and 24″ Cinema Display.
