To cut a long story short,

if given the choice would you rather VIEW photographs on

a) an I-phone,
b) an I-pad or a tablet of any brand,
c) a laptop screen,
d) a decent 19" and above monitor,
e) None of the above I prefer prints, and large ones into the bargain.

My take is (e)dcba but you knew that I presume.
