I have one. You're right — it's a good value for the money, and there's basically no catch except that if you're running under Mac or Windows you'll need to know a little more about what you're doing than you might if you just bought one of the big-name devices.
That's because there's only software for Linux. If you are using Linux (any modern ...

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom does. It has since version 4.3 released on December 13th, 2012(it was also in an earlier RC). What are you actually looking for is support of HiDPI, which Lightroom 4.3 and above has. Adobe also updated Photoshop CS6 to version 13.0.2 which supports HiDPI displays. (Note that this does not apply to Photoshop Elements, for which no ...

Normally you would use sRGB mode. It is the most common denominator. Keep in mind that this mode is not calibrated, so your sRGB colors will be different from other sRGB colors. They should be closer.
Once in sRGB mode your monitor may not be able to show colors which are outside of sRGB color-space which is why sRGB is not the default mode. The truly odd ...

VersaTile is getting ready to fundraising for an eInk Digital Picture frame on Kickstarter (you can follow the updates from @getversatile on Twitter ). I think that color eink technology (and black and white, for that matter) is finally to the point where you could conceivably make one of these frames work--200dpi is higher than the retina display on an ipad ...

CES 2012 brought some good news here.
Kyobo Mirasol is an Android-based device with a 5.7" Qualcomm's Mirasol e-paper screen. A review finds it very demanding on viewing angle though.
Ectacto jetBook Color Deluxe, an e-reader with 9" color e-ink display, won the innovation award of CES 2012. The software is proprietary, but according to manufacturer, it ...

The only sensible thing you can do is to calibrate your monitor and work your images with respect to how they are intended to be displayed.
The problem is that there is not one way for monitors to be miscalibrated. An uncalibrated monitor will simply give different colors. Different uncalibrated monitors are likely to give different colors and the magnitude ...

There won't be an impact to photography itself. The display medium is changing and that means that better details in displayed images but prints require more resolution still.
This is not as new as you think. Over 10 years ago, I had a loaned IBM T220 on my desk which is a 9 megapixels display. The precision was incredible and while the list price dropped ...

That would be the Lenovo W530. It's display covers 95% of sRGB color space and there is a version (linked) that has a built-in color-calibration sensor to calibrate the display and keep colors accurate.
There are 1600x900 and 1920x1080 (additonal cost) options for the display which are both high-resolution enough to make it comfortable for working with ...

Recently, laptops with IPS screens (or PLS in Samsung's case) have started appearing, such as Asus Zenbook UX31A or HP Envy series. There are not many models yet, but some high-end models do provide IPS (as an option in many cases, so make sure to check the specs of the actual machine you're going to buy). HP calls its IPS screens Dreamcolor; Dell sells ...

This is a concern that has existed for quite a long time, but it's important to recognize how this problem has changed over the years.
Back when CRTs were not just standard but preferred, it was easy to find widely-varied settings. You needn't look hard: chances are everyone in your office had very different settings and most would have contrast and ...

how does the calibration of my monitor effect the viewing of my photos
on other monitors?
There are two sources of errors when editing images on one monitor to be viewed on another monitor, and that is the miscalibration of your monitor, and the miscalibration on the other monitor.
By calibrating your monitor you are elliminating (at least mostly) ...

It's actually more probable that a display driver/multiplexer chip or one of its associated resistors (hardware) is the problem if one of the segments is "stuck" across characters. That's the circuit that translates between the values to display and the character segments that need to be activated (and such displays, whether LCD, LED, or fluorescent, ...

[NOTE: When I first answered this, I was thinking NEX-3 rather than NEX-F3, so the information about available controls is likely not the same. I will leave the information for NEX-3 owners, but if you have the NEX-F3 (a much more expensive and capable version of the NEX camera series), my myopic observations may not apply.]
If the pictures are still in the ...

If it's a show being broadcast, I hit the freeze button on my remote. If it's a move or tv show on dvd/blu ray, I either press the freeze button on my tv remote or hit pause on the dvd player remote. Today I took a bunch of shots at various shutter speeds. I have a Nikon D5100. Using a tripod I used ISO 100 and found the shots that came out best were ...

I don't think it will have any effect on photography, in any case displays will always lag significantly behind camera resolution. By the time we actually have 5 megapixel displays we'll probably have 80 megapixel cameras!
Fundamentally size and viewing angle are more important than resolution (in terms of numbers of pixels). Unlike digital images, which ...

Note: in this answer the word 'resolution' is used in the optical sense: "the ability of an imaging system to resolve detail" (Wikipedia).
I think your question has some of the answer in it:
They have certainly taken display technology closer to the print medium quality.
I think that is the goal. What would a perfect display be?
Be visible in both ...

I would agree with you Lynda - As you are editing what is essentially a "true" copy, the experience of other viewers should be as close to true as their equipment allows (un calibrated)
What I mean by this is:
If your un-calibrated has a green cast and you are trying to make a B&W image look neutral, you will end up with an image with a red cast on a ...
