External monitor for macbook pro

<p>eBay is fine - just make sure the seller has good feedback experience. The dead pixels are a negative but it's the reason for the much lower price. Nice to have the SpectaView software but, frankly, I have never used mine. :)</p>

What are you using to calibrate your display? Multiprofiler?

[Mary Doo]

<p>Andrew, maybe I should but I never feel the need to do it. The displays look fine. Think I have calibration phobia. ;)</p>

<p>Oh, I found company (see <a href="https://thephotographerselement.com/2015/07/08/for-those-with-a-phobia-of-calibrating/">link</a>). I send my prints to WHCC - used to do it myself but too much trouble.</p>

<p>Very funny (or sad) <g>. The point about pro lab's and color management doesn't explain Costco:<br>

<p>Thanks for the info Andrew. So far WHCC has been great. As far as I am concerned, it makes good sense to "delegate" the printing job. A thorn is removed: I don't need to care about replenishing ink cartridges, buying/worrying about various types and sizes of printing medium, frustrating over banding, inaccuracy, correcting/reprinting through the night, torturing through the profound but uninteresting calibration info in the links you cited (sorry - it's just me). WHCC's mail delivery speed exceeds my procrastination, and the price is right. In fact I don't know why I elected to do the printing myself in the past to go through a number of Epson printers, and now still stuck with a big box of printing paper in the basement that is taking space and too good to throw away.</p>

<p>Another WHCC happy customer, while my Epson 3800 remains hopelessly clogged. I like my local Costco as well - superb 20x30" Epson 7880 prints for $9.99, 16x20s are $6.99. Satisfaction guaranteed...</p>
