So Much Color Drift, So Warm.

I still use the original microsoft intellimouse ball mouse on my computer with the 17 inch 5:4 monitor.

Can't really use it for anything higher res than that because it's too slow and imprecise.

What a weird Monitor..

I just calibrated an oldie , viewsonic va2323wm.

The User-Set color settings on the monitor side (to match white point) Does not kick in once the monitor turns off, UNTIL you re-enter the color menu manually..

The settings stay in the menu, but it doesn't activate until you go INTO the menu after every power cycle


I doubt anyone has ever used this cheapie monitor for color-work,  but had they done so, unless they knew about this defect, they would've woken up to the wrong colors each and every time the monitor power cycles..

HP LP2065 official specs don't say, nor do these more detailed ones

It's old and square so sounds like something a hipster would like...

Are there any benefits to using a CCFL monitor?  aside from the accompanying high pitched whine?

The feeling of either elite superiority over those who take to new technology like a common prostitute to a crisp 50. That or the smug satisfaction of a penny pinching lord of 5 estates..... or the depression of a bum down on their luck.

Feelings.

Last I checked, gamut is usually better with CCFL, but it might have changed since. My CCFL monitor has a low pitched whine at 50Hz.

Hipster intensifies.... next thing you will turn to vegan orthodoxy.

I can't remember if this was a joke on tp's vegan ways at the time or a surprisingly accurate prediction :p

As much as i want to claim the prediction, it was during the tp vegan period.
