Bought a Dell P2715Q 27" 4K monitor and it arrived today. Holy crap, is this thing sharp! And huge! I can be using Photoshop on half the monitor at a resolution of 1920x2160 while wasting time with social media on the other half. Coolest thing I bought all week (ANA was last week).
Wow! I'll bet it looks great. Even though I was staring at a monitor when I read this, the title took me off in another direction. Your big monitor ... "Our Little Monitor". See what my brain did there?
Obviously quite nice, glad for you, certain you will get great utility and enjoyment from it. Bear in mind, anything superb you achieve with it photoshop-wise will still be viewed here on 3 to 5 inch screens by many. Kinda like spending millions recording a studio album and then having people listening to it on a 3 inch speaker on an old AM radio.
Ha. Thanks. Actually, learned that from Billy Joel, not personally, but I think he's the one who said he actually always made listening to a 3 inch radio playback part of the final mixing process... I've spent my share of time in the studio and started doing that. It's amazing. Also, never forget the first time I heard a CD, in 1983? 4 maybe? "And you never heard the words of your favorite songs through a 3 inch speaker..."
Yeah, I already turned the brightness down a bit from the factory setting so that everyone wouldn't see my pictures as being too dark. While I do routinely check my photos on a phone, I'm going to stop a bit short of hooking up an old 15" CRT with burn-in and magnetic field damage.
Ahh, Billy Joel. One of his songs from that era definitely applies to my shift here at the hotel tonight. (Pressure happens when you can't tell Mr. Sloshy McJerkwad, the squat, ugly, sloppy-drunk, obnoxious, demanding, and rude guest, what you really think of him. Let's just hope his 4:45 AM limo driver bypasses the airport and drops him off in the darkest outer reaches of Buck Swamp Road, where he can commune with the 'gators and the clouds of keening mosquitoes. But alas, they probably wouldn't bite him, since his blood alcohol level is so elevated...) Oh. Where was I? Did I just go off on a rant there? Wow. Sorry. Oh. Yeah. Billy Joel. Pressure. (The pressure of my hands around Sloshy McJerkwad's throat ... ahhh ... what a delightful fantasy)
