I did have a 30 inch 2560x1600, but it was really too big for our room. I did need the replacement to the the same sort of dot-pitch size or thereabouts, and as I decided that a 27 inch was a good size compromise I certainly didn't want 4k - the extra pixels would make the menus in photoshop etc so damn small as to be unreadable. 2560x1440 is a good compromise on a 27 inch model. Asus do some higher range models in the ProArt range, with 4k and even 5k 99%-100% Adobe RGB capability. The newer ones also have better connectivity, but I wouldn't fancy trying to see any menu system on a 5k (5120 x 2880) 27 inch monitor unless my nose was pressed up against it!
This one has some tricks up it's sleeve including ruler and page (A4/A5) overlays, a ruler along the lower bezel and several standard colour profiles. I've yet to go through everything, but I think some will prove useful. It's a novelty to have speakers built in that run over HDMI and the ability (once I dig out a cable) to have USB ports in the back as well.
I have no problem reading menus on my 14" MacBook Pro with 3024 × 1964.

Does not surprise me. Given Photoshop is a pro product and a lot of pros. are going to need/want very high resolution then it is inconceivable that Adobe had not fixed any issue. |

A couple of years back I got a 32" curved MSI monitor and I rate it very highly I've considered curved monitors - they have some plus points, but I do a fair amount of vector-art work with lots of lines and angles which would confuse my pea-brain on a curved monitor when zoomed in. Back when I was doing CAD it would have made my brain cell fall out of my ear  |

Approximately six weeks ago one of the members of my Photography & Wellbeing Group wanted (really wanted) to loan me a book he'd purchased on a recent trip to the Samye Ling Buddhist retreat in Irvine. I'd expressed my disappointment at not being able to go on the trip that members made the week prior. I didn't want to borrow the book because I knew I wouldn't have time to read it but he was really insistent so I took it. There then followed a period of complete brain fog as HRT kicked in and when, three weeks ago, this member asked if I'd finished the book, I realised I had no idea where it was. I told him I'd bring it along the next week. Since then I've turned my flat inside out and upside down looking for this blasted book and I've avoided this particular member because I'm so embarrassed at having lost it. On Saturday, I bumped into the manager of the Bothy and I explained my dilemma to her. (I was going to buy a replacement but the monastery's online bookshop doesn't work and the place itself is about four hours' drive from here). I asked her if she'd mind looking on her desk next time she was there to see if I had in fact returned it as I'd planned to. She has just messaged me to say that she has found it under a pile of Bothy newsletters in one of the two big activity rooms. Clearly I never even took it home with me. It's grinding my gears that my head is so useless at the moment but I'm feeling quite cheerful about not having to drive to Irvine to buy another copy of a book I don't want!

There are advantages in being absent minded, but I've forgotten what they are... Quite. Alos I've just looked it up and it isn't in Irvine. I have no idea why I thought that. It's sort of near Moffat. Which makes it a 4.5hour round trip. That I don't need to make! |

My set of Walz filters for the Sonnar on my Contax have finally turned up - snail mail really lived up to it's billing for these babys! The 42mm slip-on works nicely. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326316353253 |

The local bus company has upheld my complaint about one of their drivers and promised appropriate action will be taken.

Hmmm. Interview 1. Served to go OK but may involve a shitload more travel than the ad and screening call suggested. Oxford Cambridge London has become right across the UK, training in Darmstadt (on more than one occasion), and possibly travelling as far as the Baltic States.
About 10 minutes before that I had an email saying that interview 2 was cancelled as they'd offered it to someone who applied directly. That in itself is no skin off my sizable proboscis as the job was massively not me. However it was being billed to me as an interview to discuss other roles there... and maybe there still are, apparently.
I think the chaos is because its a small company in the process of moving, who have no HR staff, so I'm prepared to cut some slack still. And the recruiter they've been using is on holiday. But it's getting frustrating hanging on for things that then come to nothing.
