Monitor Talk

Disclaimer: This stuff is really technical. If you're not interested in color accuracy and listening to my thoughts about it, then this podcast is definitely not for you.

This (probably too long of a) podcast is about my brief history with color accurate displays and my challenges and experiences with them. There's about 30 minutes of history as I run through what I bought and why. And then there's about 10 minutes of drawing real conclusions. That's where the real value is. If you want the Cliff Notes version of it here it is: Buy an Eizo ColorEdge with built-in calibration sensor.

If you want to know why? You'll have to listen to the podcast.
