--It's quite inspiring when you find a sketchbook thread of someone who's came a long way and see their hard work and studies all laid out in their SB
16 Feb 15:43
--we do a lot of sketching, there's also a lot of feedback, crit-giving, and paint overs going on in the sketchbook, crit, and mentoring boards

--I have to refrain from buying a monitor. When my pc blew up we made a few trips for parts and i have it in for this huuuge wrap around HD monitor...
16 Feb 06:51
--Thats fine, I appreciate the tips. If I didn't have to spend the rest of my tax return on bills I'd definitely go for something better
16 Feb 06:49
--That's ok, I just didn't want to mislead you. You can get a decent monitor for $200. I worked on cheaper ones
16 Feb 06:45
--I can rent a spyder from a friend, just wanting something cheap for someone starting out

--And to be honest it all comes down to color calibration. It's probably best if you want with your monitor and computer to a shop and ask for the color calibration. Believe me, it can make a huge difference.
16 Feb 06:24
--It's a matter of semantics but that is not "great" color representation. If you call it 'decent' then it's ok I guess

--Check this one out Danial. HP Pavilion 23xi and 23CW. On amazon for around 160 new, and seems to have decent IPS panel covering sRGB gamut. http://www.color-management-guide.com/hp...eview.html

--Yea I have a Dell Ultrasharp 2005, just my old monitor from 2002 finally died and looking to replace it
16 Feb 05:58
--The Dell ultrasharp series is some of the best value for money on low-mid budget. If you go to the older models you should be able to pick them up for around 200-300. Not small size though; 22in+ I will try suggest some models
16 Feb 05:57
--You don't need 1300 to get decent enough colour reproduction. I think if you are using the 2nd monitor for ref, it is important to get good colour accuracy.
16 Feb 05:50
--Man, I really thought *someone* would post in the speedpainting thread. Ah well, it was worth a shot.
16 Feb 05:34
--If it's a secondary monitor then it not that important, generally the higher rgb mapping % the better
16 Feb 05:31
--For $200 you won't get great color, not sure how are the prices in US but you'd probably need at least $1300 for that
16 Feb 03:06
--same! i could use a 2ndary monitor for ref with great color and high res but small size
