"Chimping" refers to the practice of looking at your LCD after every shot and going, "Ooh! Ooh!" Yes, the camera did the take the picture. What a surprise. If you are shooting in Auto, or you have decent experience with a camera, you can be pretty certain that the shot will turn out okay. Unless you're tethered to a computer screen or an iPad, that tiny LCD on the camera isn't gong to reveal the fine points of the photo. Too much chimping can make you look like an amateur and even cause you to lose good shots.

When I'm out doing a lot of shooting, I turn the LCD off. It's a distraction, and it uses up the battery. One little poke at that Review arrow can show me the image if I have to see it.

Okay, it's your turn. Let the attacks begin! :D

In the market for a new computer monitor. This process has proven to be a little more complicated than expected. The basic concerns are how well a monitor will represent the images taken, and keeping usable menus that old eyes can easily see. As for color space, ugh.

To date, I have only seen a monitor with just sRGB and that falls short of 100% of the sRGB space. Although the images are captured in AdobeRGB, processed mostly in LR's ProPhotoRGB and exported in sRGB. I still have only seen this through a less than 100% sRGB monitor. After reading tons of info, I am leaning towards 100% sRGB only.

Is going from 1920/1080 to 2560/1440 a big difference? Roughly 77% more pixels. And, I may very well upsize to 27" wide screen or 34" ultra wide. Anything will be a big improvement from a 7 year old Dell 23" 1920/1080.

Yeah I know about 4K, 300% more pixels. If the 4K didn't come with the text scaling problems, it would be a no brainer.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
