Amazon's brain dead marketing...
Once again Amazon proves how brain dead their marketing is...
Why it's almost Pentax level, in fact I should take back calling it
"brain dead" as that's an insult to the brain dead.
I say this because I've just pulled the trigger on a 27" monitor sold
under the Philips brand, not the highest resolution but 124% sRGB IPS,
which should be a major improvement over my current monitor for color
matching, which until the death of my last 24" monitor sat on the shelf
as a backup.
Within hours, actually less than two hours, of ordering the new monitor,
I get an email from Woot, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon for what?
Why a 27" monitor of course, for more money, with a much narrower color
gamut.
What the hell do they think I'm going to do buy another of them? If I
were going to do that I'd get a second of the same model.
By the way if anyone is looking for a real budget photo monitor this one
looks pretty good.

I'll know better when I get it, but for now...

Product recommendations are auto-sent based on what you’ve looked at on Amazon. I occasionally find the recommendations helpful. I sometimes get too many but it doesn’t really trouble me.

I bought a couple of these from Costco a couple of years back, on sale, $300,
Limit 4 ... I could only afford two, but the price was too good to pass up for a
32" 4K monitor.

Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
Religion - Answers we must never question.
A few months ago I bought a laptop from B&H. Almost immediately after
placing the order I started getting ads from B&H for the exact same
laptop that I had just bought from them. The ads kept coming for weeks.
It doesn't bother me but seemed like an inexplicable advertising strategy.
