Laptop Monitors Suck for Print Color (Score 1)

As a graphic artist, the laptop revolution is a double-edge sword. My PowerBook G4 allows me to work remotely and takes up less space than any desktop (good). Developing color art for the print medium, however, is a costly, time-draining and imprecise science at best (bad).

Choosing colors on a laptop LCDs involves a lot of guesswork. Images that look perfect on-screen become way too dark in print. I've wasted hours trying to nudge the monitor settings with no long-term success.
