yes i agree with Bc, i like mac - it always seems to work just fine and is fast - i haven't used a pc since the last century -



for me the monitor is very good, some don't like the glossy screen reflections but in my room this is not a problem (and if you've been living with your face for long enough it never ages in the screen reflection : ) -



for screen calibration i use SuperCal from bergdesign (free or cheap) = my monitor looks exactly like my prints - if you have a studio set up you might want to use an external calibrator to match across various screens, but for me it's supercal - 90% of my pictures are people pix and the results are accurate -



initially my screen (24") appeared to change in brightness/hue across the screen but now that is not so - (aged??, i don't know) - and no unusual probs re. light and dark at viewing angles, but for accurate grading your face should be not too far away from centre anyway i think -



and you might want to also get Shades from Charcoal Design (free or donation) to reduce the brightness of the very bright screen in a dark room, works well without obviously distorting colour (but don't forget to turn it off when calibrating) -



a friend had a minimac - for me too many wires out for necessary add-ons, so a no go -



i hope this might be accurate and might help - have a look in the shop with your own pix, it's quite good out of the box anyway
