OT: Is the UK Imploding?
I am not inviting a political debate or discussion, but from this side of the pond, it appears that the political system of the UK i coming apart at the seams over Brexit. I'm certain it is stressful and discomforting for everyone over there. Being a Brit these days must be almost as uncomfortable as being a devotee of a camera brand that is being deserted by the company that now owns the brand, Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

OT - heads-up: good deal on a budget IPS monitor
Just a heads-up in case someone is looking for an inexpensive IPS monitor. (There have been a few people asking on PDML not that long ago.) Dell 27" HD LCD MOnitor, SE2717H is on sale for $119 at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/196655/Dell-27-HD-LCD-Monitor-SE2717H/?cm_mmc=Affiliates-_-CJ-_-1122587-_-11263938 I think it's the same prices at OfficeMax, which is essentially the same chain now. This is a budget, but seemingly reasonable quality IPS monitor with Full-HD resolution (1920x1080). (I haven't use it myself.) Its gamut almost covers SRGB, - you can see a nice review of it on TomsHardware: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dell-se2717h-27-inch-ips-freesync-gaming-monitor,4859-4.html According to that review, - one of the positive things is that you get an excellent out-of-box color accuracy. (This might be important for those who are not using screen calibrators.) It does not have too many options for connectors, only HDMI and VGA, so if your computer uses DisplayPort, you'd need some adapters... This monitor is in the category of gaming ones. I suspect that it's there because it has a relatively fast (for IPS) response time. But it seems rather suitable for general needs as well as photography (if you don't need wider gamut).

Sorry for being noisy: At Walmart, new users can save extra $10 by entering the discount code: ELLEN10.

Presumably that "special" batch might be of a lower quality. Actually, Best Buy also has the same sale price ($119): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-se2717hr-27-ips-led-fhd-freesync-monitor-piano-black/5996200.p?skuId=5996200 I see that this model is discontinued at B&H, so, I suspect it might be at the end of its life-cycle, and that's the reason for such a deep sale. BTW, if you are curious, from what I've read SE2717HR comes with HDMI cable, while SE2717H comes with a VGA cable, but the rest is the same.
