Saw this article from Tom's Hardware Guide while I was surfing the tech news this morning:

A Revolution? The First LumiLED LCD Display

It's geared for the end end user seeking near perfect color calibration, which was never really available for LCD monitors till now. It replaces the traditional flourescent backlight with a set of 48 color-adjustable LEDs. In addition to better color it also lasts much longer. Hopefully a sign of things to come for mass-market consumption.

This article also has a really good section about the problems associated with color calibrating monitors and the technical issues faced.

That's weird. I tried to post a link to this article on a photographers BB I'm on, but it gets redirected to another site selling computer stuff. I spelled the web address right, but when you clicked on it, the address would change an this other site would come up. :confused:
 
DID YOU SEE THE PRICE???? :eek: :eek: :eek:

$6600 to $7400. I think I'll wait for it to come down just a wee bit!

And I hope it comes down quickly because CRTs are being fazed out and photographers need high quality monitors to work. I've been following a discussion on my professional photographers forum about getting a new monitor and one of the best CRTs has been discontinued.
 
All we need now is a $7000 camera, a $7000 computer and a $7000 printer, oh and $7000 of software to utilise it. :rolleyes:
