The Dreamcolor is now a GUI monitor and all critical color decisions = are
made using the PV270.

The HP and BenQ are not on par with the ultra-critical = state-of-the-art
Flanders or Eizo monitors; they are bang-for-the-buck monitors that = ring
in at less than half the price of the top of the line while still = giving
me sufficient confidence in color accuracy to get the job done.
