It allows you to see the range of brightness and contrast as the photographer/designer recommended. The problem is, the bulk of crap tossed on the web is not calibrated so you'll only really benefit from looking at semi-pro/pro photographs and designs. Still a good thing. If exact colors and brightness/contrast are important to you, invest in a colorimeter. The Pantone Huey is a nice unit, at the end of the test they show you before and after which is usually a shock as the difference is quite noticeable on most monitors.

That's quite misleading. I'm sure when a store owner puts in 3M Security Glass the Criminals won't honor the 'Just use Feet and Hands to break into this'. Create a truly indestructible medium and try this marketing again. - Comment on Microsoft Windows Vista Choices (2007-11-16 17:31:31)
Now that's just plain rude and uncalled for! I know a lot of elitist faggots that wouldn't be caught dead with a Mac.. ;) - Comment on Microsoft Windows Vista Choices (2007-11-16 17:06:26)
That's not fair for Mac, he only has one choice on his wheel.. 'Douche'. - Comment on Humping Dog - USB (2007-11-16 09:47:39)
Makes me wonder - Why are there human titties on the advertisement of a humping dog? - Comment on The Edge (2007-11-15 12:44:13)
+10 for the Edge, -5 because he's got Bone-O stank on him. - Comment on Transistor sex (2007-11-13 13:07:15)
No caps in here, but then again I wasn't going to be picky.. :) - Comment on Transistor sex (2007-11-13 12:44:19)
Lesbian strapon sex at that! - Comment on I'd hit it so hard, it would take the future king of England to pull me out (2007-11-08 12:04:23)
+5'd for teh clever. Though it needs more thought, better contrasting type and some refinement. See me after class. - Comment on Funny Car (2007-11-08 11:58:53)
Its funny cuz lols look at teh back tire. At high shutter speeds you'll capture the outer part of the tire lagging behind the inner part. Bitchin' - Comment on Ron Paul Revolution (2007-11-06 15:49:11)
Ron Paul loves me, this I know for his horribly Photoshopped head graphic tells me so - Comment on Spiral President (2007-11-06 15:47:33)
Photoshop filters are a privilege, not a right. - Comment on Splice (2007-11-05 14:04:39)
+5 for the concept, not for the image. Screw those end users, 10mbit is too good for 'em. - Comment on Are You Ready For A Zombie Attack (2007-11-01 17:28:22)
