I'm not even a professional and I spent more than that on a camera or two
.

Plus, it's the kind of monitor you'd have hooked up to your printing pres
s, 
not the kind you'd have hooked up to your desktop machine. You don't thin
k 
places like Time Magazine or Cosmopolitan wants to know exactly what the 

cover is going to look like when they ship it off to the printer to print
 
ten million copies?  That's what color calibration is *for* - so everyone
 
sees it the way you do.

(Altho I must admit I never figured out how you could calibrate an emissi
ve 
display with subtractive ink set.  I wonder how long before this sort of 

thing is available in color eInk?)
