I know this has been beat to death but what are your opinions on the two, pros and cons.
I do professional photography, weddings, and need to upgrade to a good monitor or buy a new system like the 27" Imac quad. However it has a glossy screen and after doing some research and talking to a couple of sales people at the busy Apple store, both were photographers, they gave me straight talk and said it may not be good for what I do.
One explained if you take a b&w 8x10 print and then put a piece of glass over it what will happen? Will it appear more contrasty and sharper? I said yes. She said there is your answer.
I use a MBP now and run another monitor off it but its a old Mitsubishi 20" CRT and it is losing it's red channel so I am either thinking of another monitor or buying the Imac.
I tried the wide gamut Hp 2475 but I was not sure I was getting a good calibration with it, plus it had a damaged base so I sent it back.
I am also considering a nec 2490wuxi2 or the more expensive 2490wuxi and I am trying to get feedback between the two models.
I would rather get the 27" Imac but there is no way I can try one out, 15% restocking fee to see if its for me.
any thoughts?
