Comments about Acratech Viewing Angle Gauge (Silver):
I edit all my photos on my laptop and without this little device, I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to angle my laptop monitor. Now I know I am always at the correct working angle. It is well made and was easy to install. I suggest going to their website for installation instructions, just to be sure you get it exactly in the middle.

Comments about Acratech Viewing Angle Gauge (Silver):
This gizmo does just what it's supposed to do: gives an easy visual cue that you're looking at your LCD at the right angle to get correct colors. Worth noting: It's designed for laptops, where it attaches to the flat back side of the screen (the laptop's top). I'm using it on an LCD connected to a desktop tower. The back of the screen is shaped more like a shallow bowl, so the right-angle gauge wouldn't fit. I e-mailed Acratech to ask if they had any suggestions other than bending the gauge to fit. They responded quickly, and said bending was the best approach. A few seconds with a vise grip and a pair of channel-lock pliers did the trick.

works!
Used with laptop and LCD screen for desktop.
It is only a bit of plastic - yes it is true - but if you are doing photoediting or video editing it is worth its weight in gold.

Comments about Acratech Viewing Angle Gauge (Silver):
I switched from Jpeg to RAW several months ago, so I've been doing a lot more work in Photoshop recently. My first few images came out looking less than stellar, that's how I figured out how important screen angle is when color correcting and working with exposure. This thing is so simple I can't believe it works as well as it does. It attaches to any computer screen with Velcro, so it is easy to move between several monitors or desktop to laptop. The only thing that I can find to complain about would be the Velcro patch stuck on the back of my laptop, but I'm a form over function type of guy anyway, so that doesn't bother me.

Comments about Acratech Viewing Angle Gauge (Silver):
While I prefer to work in the controlled environment of my office, sometimes that isn't possible and viewing images, let alone developing them in Lightroom or Photoshop, used to get quite frustrating since the slightest adjustment of the angle on my screen changed the appearance of my images. With this simple device, I can quickly see that my laptop screen is showing me the best view of my image and I can work from there. It is simple, but it works.

I saw this in a magazine and checked out B&H. Naturally they had it. For a while I considered making one myself, but never got around to it. So considering the price I just added it to one of my orders. And I'm happy with the results. If you edit photos on a laptop it will make your life easier.

I do a lot of editing on my laptop and this gadget is a big help! I would have liked to be able to use it with a standard monitor, but the shape of the monitor won't fit with the guage shape.
