Hey G, Really appreciate the information and knowledge shared, I know talking about LCD brought up other questions as well. We all learn, we all are wrong at times, we share. I just wanted to put a little shout out here but I am going to get the Hanns and the anti-glare coating vs. the auto-sensing backlight, sure I could had googled up the info but I thought I would run it by you/the group. Yes, Fluorescent lighting kills the eyes, I do have 3M filters and full spectrum bulbs but still the reflection is what gets me. Thanks much for the input..: Rudy ----- Original Message ----- From: "GuitarMan" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 10:27 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: LCD Guru's - what about this monitor? > Rudy, > While I certainly appreciate the vote of confidence in whatever I say, > I > am just as prone to error as anyone else here (or anywhere else, for that > matter).
