Objective: replace my old Samsung SyncMaster 2253 BW I was very happy for many years on my MacBook plugged end of 2008 both of which are still in perfect condition by a monitor 27 "for photos and HD movies. It is now connected to my new Mac Mini (late 2012 i7 quad core) and the result is really excellent, I downloaded the calibrated profile corresponding focus on digital in order to "refine the color setting and reduced" light "and" Contrast "(maximum default setting) to 50% by the controls at the bottom of the screen: the result is really beautiful. My purchase decision was based on numerous tests and evidence I could find everywhere on the canvas and I am fully satisfied.
