[h=1]Asus ProArt 24" LED LCD Monitor - 16:10 - 6 ms PA248Q[/h]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWH00K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
"True Color, Always Gorgeous Experience professional-grade color fidelity and reproduction with the ASUS PA248Q ProArt series LCD display. Each PA248Q guarantees industry-leading color accuracy, having been pre-calibrated to minimize the color different to ?E amp;lt; 5 right out of box. The PA248Q delivers 100% sRGB color reproduction on its 16:10, 1920 x 1200 optimal HD A+ IPS panel with 178 ultra-wide viewing angle.It is the world's first monitor with four USB 3.0 ports, ensuring enhanced productivity thanks to data transfer speeds that are up to 10X faster than Current USB 2.0 standards."
I actually bought this as a Christmas present to myself in 2015 and just now I have FINALLY set it up as a second monitor to my laptop. Wow! I love it! It's warmer and brighter than the display on my HP laptop not to mention so much bigger viewing area, especially nice when working in Lr.

I just could not HELP MYSELF.
I walked into the local camera store two days ago and on the used camera/lens shelf sat a time machine to my beginnings with Nikon. A Nikon FTn and 50mm f/2 Nikkor H. I picked it up, fondled it a bit and was immediately transported back to 1974. At the time I managed to overcome temptation but I could not get it out of my head. I called them this morning and asked them how much they wanted for it and they said $169.00. I knew I could get them down below that so I went in, F2 in hand to check the shutter speeds and meter. I honestly did not expect the meter to work, because after this much time less than 10% of them do. The shutter curtains were perfect. The shutter speeds from 1 sec to 1/60th (the fastest you can really compare by ear) were DEAD ON with the F2. We put batteries in the finder and I WILL BE DAMNED, the meter works! I told the guy I would give him $135.00 to drive it off the lot and he said SOLD! Granted it is not my original FTn, which was a 1969, but this is a 1970, close enough for government work. The 50mm f/2 focuses as smoothly as butter and the aperture ring is very crisp. No oil on the blades either.
I have a roll of TX just itching to be shot.........I think this afternoon is as good as any!!!!!

This is sold as "PRISMA PHOTO LIGHT BOX"
Bought this off of our local "Info-Mall" (something like Kijiji) from a man in the next town who had bought it when his wife was into making and selling jewelry. Said he used it for about a year, then she stopped making jewelry.
it is pretty solid. It is not made of fabric but some sort of opaque plexiglass. Seems to be only sold on eBay. It is marked as "Made in Canada" and the eBay.ca shows it coming from Toronto and made by Fit Studio. Can't seem to find anything else out about them.

Anyway, it works, it's solid and got a heck of a deal.
Just tried a could of objects to see how it goes (too lazy to dig out the tripod so these are hand held shots.
My other hobby - model railways. This is "N" scale (wheels are 9mm wide, hence the "N").
And had this sitting on my workshop desk so decided to shoot it.
I just grabbed my D90 and the 105 Macro - because they happened to be handy. Did I mention feeling lazy tonight.
