Great, so what we get is the realization that the screen photographed at such magnification levels is very unsharp (what kind of screen is that???An old crappy CFT?) and that to "test"w aht you say you are testing, you need to use a darker grey with black letters to compare in the first place, because through contrast differences we are unable to compare.[/quote]
I know that you’re trying to be funny, but unfortunately this point is invalid – we’re not comparing two monitors, we’re comparing two images on the same monitor, and the first one is sharper than the second one. And also like I said, I’ll do a test with printed sheets in a few days.

Nope, it tests exactly the detail in red channel – and we’re using our visual system to see the difference. Because it’s the way the photography works – pictures are meant for our eyes, not something else. And it’s for human eyes to determine whether pictures are sharp or not.

So basically all your arguments are “I don’t like it so it has to be wrong� The thing is that it takes just five minutes to do it by yourself and either confirm my point or prove me completely wrong. Why don’t you do it?
