[QUOTE="Luke, post: 105211, member: 1531"] Gordon, I agree with you 100%, except for the fact that my workflow is "process photos on the couch while my wife watches horrible TV." Much as I would prefer a cheapo tower with a kick-ass screen in my office.....that doesn't work for me. My days are filled with work. And my nights are time to spend with my wife (and lucky for me that she allows me to play with my pictures). I can't reconcile the difference in price between a great screen on a laptop and a crap screen on a machine that does (ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME THING). Imagine if there were 2 cameras that were nearly identical except the viewfinder was WAY better on one. And one cost $399 and one cost $1,399. Maybe I just lucked out, but when I print my photos, the colors very nearly match what I'm getting on my four year POS laptop. Maybe the way I decide should be to bring a memory card with some favorite shots that I have printed out and see if I can get the screen to come close to displaying what I see in print. [/QUOTE]
