Peter did post a .jpg. You're not missing anything, really. It's
underexposed as usual.

Interesting, most people tell me they are OVER exposed. It depends on
your monitor settings.

My monitor is just fine. Monitor, scanner and printer are calibrated with
a £10 note

I though the exposure looked pretty good. I decreased the brightness
and upped the contrast a bit:

I don't believe in calibration. Calibrated monitors aren't correct
for my eyesight. The brightness level is subjective.

You probably still use bobs and tanners and collect the Co-op divi up
there. Do they still deliver your milk on a horse drawn float?.

Co-op divi - now you're talking!

Where's "up there", by the way?

It looks better - not perfect, but better on my monitors, even at the
factory default setting.

You're right - the red does look darker.

Blueyonder/Virgin should get their act together and let their servers
talk when they're queried. Kept giving me an address in Bradford
instead of Clevedon.

What I'd like to know is where's the point in scanning a ten bob note
(if you can lay hands on one) when it only has two main colours?
They're twenty quid onEbay, and there was one early this morning selling
for over £200. Everybody has a tenner ('cept me. I seem to only have
twenties left atm) and it's pretty near perfect for comparative
calibration.

I didn't realize Clevedon had got cable too! The problem probably lies
with the Blueyonder/Virgin merger, where the former is specifically cable.

I was only kidding about a ten bob note. And, yes, I was aware of their
current value. I must see if I can get hold of a tenner - again, only
twenties left - to do a bit of calibration myself. Thanks for the tip.

Blueyonder were ok in the past. Telewest and NTL are the real problem.
For some reason, many of their local servers are registered as being at
locations miles from their true geographical location - probably regional
offices, or possibly due to equipment being moved to a new area following
an upgrade elsewhere. I met that a lot when I worked at Freeserve whilst
it was under the DRG Group, and I had a whale of a time during a
University holiday when I travelled the country upgrading the geolocator
data.

Five, ten or twenty works just fine, but when comparing screen and paper
images, remember that the screen is transmissive and paper is reflective,
so you'll need to light the banknote alonside the screen for an accurate
comparison. I used a small halogen reading lamp with a layer of kleenex
over the front as a diffuser (it can get very hot, so be careful). If
you need to be very accurate, and with 'summer' closing in, I suggest
making two settings - especially with TFT screens. One for daylight, and
one for night time artificial light.

Take care, 73 and good luck in the contest

A guy walks into a bar. He's a rather large, menacing chap. He chugs back a beer and says, "All the guys on this side of the bars are cocksuckers! Anyone got a problem with that?" Everyone is understandably silent.
He then chugs back another beer and says, "All the guys on the other side of the bar are mother****ers! Anyone got a problem with that?" Everyone is silent, again.
Then one man gets up from his stool and starts to walk towards the man.
"You got a problem, buddy?"
"No, I'm just on the wrong side of the bar."

In light of the Madrid bombing, France has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide."
The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate."

This one is an Acer, like yours only older and only 17". Default and
artificial light settings are only a click apart, not really worth the
hassle of crawling through the setup menu.

Do you ever have it blinking the startup logo and doing nothing else?
Mine does every few weeks, power cycling at the mains (I usually
switch it off at the front switch) sorts it.

Not sure what you mean.

I've set mine using the graphics card, as there is very little
adjustment on the monitor itself.

Or you could have put him in the mincer.

Nope. Sorry no info either. I'm on an antique Acer travelmate 240
laptop. 2.6GHz Celeron. Only paid £350 for it in a Comet Sale. Screen
on this is nice, but the graphics card could be better.

Circular menu, takes about 6 clicks to reach brightness - 7 for
contrast-8 for colour saturation, then on to the end to confirm and lock
changes. Graphics card in the box is a 128 AGP4 could be better.

The price of laptops nowadays is very low.

I don't have a circular menu. I presume you mean a wheel you turn?
I've got two 512MB (maybe) graphics cards. Dual output each.

As is their speed. ATM most dual core laptops are 1.8GHzx2 but running
32 bit Vista which doesn't really take advantage of the chips potential.
I have a 9.6 Quad core/Vista 32 desktop which is slower than this
laptop.

No, click the menu button then use the up-down buttons to navigate, open
the menu you need and use the up-down buttons again. Menu to exit, then
up down buttons to the exit screen button, then exit to set the change,
and exit again to close the menu. It's a bit like following the
green/yellow route on a London Underground map. That's the Circle and
District line - it goes round in a circle

That's just plain greedy. I'd upgrade to a 512 but I can't find an AGP4
card which the system will accept. Memory is the same(ish) It's ok
with 2x1Gig sticks, but if I put another one in, I get constant resets.

I'm sure there is now the odd 64 bit chip for laptops....

I like three screens. And I like smoothness when I drag a window
about.
