Hi got new computer, monitor, tablet

[karadinart]

Its a Dell.

I'm glad I have more room on my desk now, going to flat screen.

I have to reload stuff and learn how to navigate Windows 8.

Comp supposed to have speakers but I don't know how to turn them on meh.

Plus I have to figure out how to get the screen a bit brighter but not too bright. Agh. It's strange to go to public computers where everything is set very bright and see my artwork look so faded, cos on my screen, it shows how it would print. Blah.

technologically impaired

ps - lj trying to get me to switch to new layout really annoying.

every monitor is different.
my ASUS laptop makes everything look faded denin - drives me insane when printing photos for con autos - i can never calibrate with the professional printers.

congrats on your new acquisitions.

I was content at what I had, it's nerve wracking to make big purchases, but you can't say I didn't get everything out of the last computer!

Monitors should be calibrated if ur into printing. Cost a lot, I think, but it's worth it. Or better yet, a big poster with swatches :)

right now I have Quick Gamma running, that helps adjust the screen, and I'll do test prints until screen matches print.
