The intermittent problem I do have is with one or both of the WD storage drives is that after closing the computer down they keep power on and I have to force the computer to close and even then the drives continue to spin.

There is nothing wrong and I am not having problems with the machine so I intend continuing to use it. Hi Mick, Not Wishing to divert the thread from Paulette but am interested in what you said about storage drives in your last post. I am using two WD Duo hard disc drives for storage and backup which I purchased when I bought the late 2013 27" iMac I am still using now. These BenQ and Eizo monitors are professional quality and more amenable to proper calibration than the iMac monitors but I think the new Apple monitors ones come pre-calibrated with various presets as with the latest M1 Mac BookPros. I am an advocate of the 2560x1440 27" monitor for photography as higher res makes things look too sharp but others such as Mark Chapman don't mind higher res. If thinking BenQ, you probably want to be looking at one specifically for stills photography rather than video. He is not a Mac guy but the advice applies across the board. He sells monitors and the info there is up to date. What the guy does not know about monitors is not worth knowing. The best resource for info about monitors is this website in Australia. Eizo is even better if you can afford it. I'll be buying the lower of the M series Studio Macs I think (I have a 16" MacBook Pro from work, but I like to keep that separate from photo stuff)īasically BenQ has a great reputation and they are improving all the time. Are BenQs a safe bet MDM? I've looked through so many specs, I'm going blind. I need to replace my old one, but I want a screen at least as good as the iMac but can't justify the Apple one. I'm disappointed by the lack of integrated 27" iMac.
