Photog Rob Galbraith Rates MacBook Pro Display "Not Acceptable"

Posted by timothy on from the pulling-no-punches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Professional digital photographer and website publisher Rob Galbraith has performed both objective and subjective tests on laptop displays, finding that the late-2008 Macbook Pro glossy displays are 'deep into the not acceptable category' when used in ambient light environments. The Apple notebook came in dead last for color accuracy, and second to last in viewing angles (besting only the Dell Mini 9). He concludes: 'Macs are no longer at the top of the laptop display heap in our minds.'"

    Even if they did prefer CRTs, it's mighty hard to find a laptop that offers a CRT option these days.

      If that's English 3.0, then I loathe to think what English 3.11 For WorkGroups will bring us.
