I just realized that I don't have to wait until I get back home to
compare images processed using the old monitor against viewing on the
new one. I only need to compare what was processed in the month of
December on the new monitor with what I see today on the old monitor.
I, of course, can't do a direct comparison since both monitors are not
in the same place. But, after checking a few images done last December
against what I see now on the old monitor I'm perfectly happy with the
way they look. If the old monitor's color is off it's not by much. But
the horizontal size has definitely shrunk a bit.
