Woop! Woop! Just got my new Samsung monitor up and running. My previous 17" is now hooked to Ronwen's machine. The new monitor is like getting a new pair of glasses (or so I'm told, my 'puter goggles have lasted me 6 years and still do the trick). My old monitor's colours weren't too hot, and seeing my site through the new colours was a bit of a shock... the blue is a little too bright for my liking. I think I'm going to need to look at the colour wheel and pick a slightly darker blue.

I should have known better - I learned this lesson way back at Lotus, when I built a number of coloured views on my Thinkpad laptop of the time. They looked nice and demure and professional on the laptop LED display, as soon as we previewed them on a CRT monitor, we realised they were gawdy to the max. Lesson is, always check out your colours on at least one other monitor, and at the least, both LED and CRT displays.
