I never used to worry much about my Canon 20D’s LCD screen.  It was only 1.8-inches and had plenty of camera body wrapped around it.  Now, with most dSLR screens taking up more than half of the back of the camera, keeping that LCD clear is becoming more of a concern.  There are many solutions on the market, but most involve a thick additional piece than usually just ends up getting in the way.  The best solution I have found for protecting that big piece of glass on the back of your camera is the invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG .

ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD is a thin polyurethane film originally created for the military to protect the leading edge of helicopter blades that is highly resistant to scratching.  The results can be seen in this comparison video (more…)

The Dell’s new UltraSharp 2208WFP 22-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor has all of the performance benefits of the larger 24″ High-Color displays, at half the price.

• Dell TrueColor Technology – 92% Color Gamut. This is a must for dSLR Dads. Most typical LCD monitors can only display 72% color gamut. Color gamut refers to how many colors the display can accurately represent. The 2208WFP can display more color shades and tones than previously possible and shows vivid hues, remarkable depth and pictures bright enough for viewing under most lighting. With deeper reds, crisper blues and sparkling whites, you’ll observe graphics in their most natural state – on a Dell widescreen with vibrant colors. (more…)
