John: As I experiment further the (reluctant) conclusions I come to tend to validate yours. I have today gone to a two-monitor system, managing to utilize two LCD monitors my wife and I in combination had "laying about". (She's a computer programmer and runs through equipment at a seemingly horrendous pace.) My intent is to have one monitor operational for all my usual needs, including utilization of Photoshop Elements, Silver Efex Pro and Lightroom, and the other smaller, older monitor used to view full-screen the digital photo I'm currently working on, with the brightness tuned down as far as it will go, nearing to the extent possible the tones of a test photo I've printed. As you indicate, this is a pretty hopeless, and unrewarding, task. I've been getting by for many months by estimating (and trial printing) the photos I'm satisfied with on the monitor, through then further modifying them in accord with my developing sixth sense as to how to get them to come out of the printer somewhat near to what I intend. I thought that some of the graphic monitors might be better suited to a more viable screen-printer match-up, but I'm supposing that as long as a monitor image is back-lit, there's only so far such a match-up can succeed. Too bad E-Ink displays (as employed in EBook Readers), aren't (yet) more technically sophisticated. Anyway, John, thanks for your cautionary advise, which is well taken. Regards, Jim
