Today, I just replaced my old CRT monitor on my PC#2 with a new LCD.  I am still running an NEC CRT on my PC#1.

Quite the difference!.....Text is crisp, white looks really white, no dead pixels....Haven't changed much "out of the box" settings other than turn down the brightness....but I'm not sure yet because all my image editing is done on PC#1 with the NEC CRT.  I have calibrated that CRT and the images come out good via print and look reasonably well on the screen.  Now, I look at my uploaded images with the new LCD and well, the images don't look that good....(OK, I know you'll say the images are crappy anyway..LOL)  But, what I notice is that the LCD viewed images seem to be oversharpened and seem to be much lighter even though I've turned down the brightness setting already.  The bottom line is my uploaded images look totally different (read worse) with the new LCD monitor!

So, my questions are;

1)How many of you use LCD's vs CRT's to view and to edit images?

2)Do you adjust images differently for LCD viewers?

3)Honestly, do my images look oversharpened and over contrasty for those of you with LCD screens?

4)Same images, two quite different looks....which one is correct?...should they both be the same...or is that just a function of LCD monitors?

I will try and calibrate the LCD over the next few days and see what difference that makes. In the meantime, I would be interested to hear your views/experiences with the two types of monitors.

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
