    Your monitor is too dark or doesn't have enough contrast. The frame is entirely filled with almond wood smoke.

    Patchy, we ought to post that contrast chart in a sticky somewhere, along with a post on how to set up your monitor for maximum viewing pleasure.

    gotta work on my flash DOF skills :lol

    :nono Not even when contrast and brightness are pushed all the way to the max. I can see all but the last three black stripes if I keep brightness at max setting. Unfortunately, my skin starts to peel off and my eyeballs burst.

    It might just be possible that there are a lot of crappy monitors out there. Just maybe.

    geez waxy, your monitor really must be hosed bad. Fishwife has a nasty old Dell (sony) trinitron that needs to be replaced...it's super yellow and she's getting gun arcs, but I can discern the difference on that POS.

    I recommend you buy a new monitor before buying a new camera :)

    Nah, waiting for the current auctions to cycle through. I missed a good deal last week, but it was too early to bid, I was still evaluating the field. Now I have a better idea of what I can expect to pay, and will wait for a new crop of monitors to go on sale.

    At some you must get tired of shooting that poor bottle of beer. Try something creative with it.
