I have a variety of monitors, all modern flat screen now, my last La-Ci CRT screen went pop some years ago. I usually have at least two monitors on my main workstation. Getting them to be even similar is always a challenge and I have more or less given up on the idea. I leave the differences to remind me that anyone viewing my images will be doing so on a different monitor anyway so there is little I can do about that.

However, my current main LED monitor seems very bright in comparison with the second (LCD) monitor and seems to lack contrast at the bright end. I have checked several greyscale calibration charts and it seems to lack definition of the last three white end graduations.

I found a site this morning which has some interesting options for checking screens which I found useful.

This page is different from any I have seen before and provides a good quick way to assess your screen:

I can't define the last four at bottom row or the last three on the second row, all the others I can see the two shades in each box.

Would be interested to hear if my experience is typical?
