I think it was darrel who said earlier that we have to look at how images are viewd these days, there mainly viewed on bad monitors on windows OS! Yes to a certain degree he is right! Most people who own a facebook,twitter or myspace account and a compact or bridge camera only take photos to post them in there own social networking bubble or to email them to there friend who is taking a gap year in austrailia...Im not 1 of them! Every single picture I take is taken with the intention to print it if it is a keeper. I'm not just taking snapshots of my childs first steps or my wifes 30th birthday bash, Im an artist/photographer. (yes I know that sounds condesending but lets face it thats how we all view ourselves here)
I spend a lot of time planning and executing my shots and I use 2 IPS monitors with a wide-gamut colour space not just the lcd that came with the tower. Im not having a go at you darrel but I think what you say only applies to peopl who have no intentions of actually doing photography, the ones who just take photos for a laugh and to show there mates. There is absolutley nothing wrong with that either.
