Hmm, on one monitor, this looks dark and a little blue (as intended). On the other, it's not so dark and less blue. I don't know what screen to trust! How does it look for you guys?
I actually have no idea how to calibrate screens properly, argh.
edit: I fixed the blue tinge on my primary monitor but can't get it to be as bright as the other; maybe i should just make that one dimmer? Haha.
It's no TERRIBLY dark, but it's appropriately dark for an overcrowded slumcity? TAKE A PICTURE OR SOMETHING I CANNOT HELP YOU MUCH.
ReplyDeleteMonitors always have different outputs, even moving the monitor to a different angle generates a different output. In LCD monitors it's partly because the light guide plate in the optical syste-ARG NO I'm not going to launch into a speech on how monitors work! (Unless you want me to.) Point is, real life has more than 16777216 colours in it and everyone's inevitably going to see something different regardless, so it's nothing to worry about.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, it looks good (albeit different) in both my desktop's monitors and on my laptop screen.
Yeah, the problem isn't it being different so much as my primary monitor being crap and I don't trust it. Whites aren't white and blacks aren't black (there's.. what's it called? Leaking? Around the edges so when its displaying dark colours it's got a lighter bluey tinge there that screws up the values of everything in that area). The model is just shit - I got it replaced by Samsung TWICE and they all had this problem. This one just took a while to develop it. :(
ReplyDeleteI managed to sort out the blue cast and got things a bit brighter so its not so drastic now. I'm assuming my other monitor is more "true" so I'm just gonna check art out on that and my laptop to make sure i'm still getting the same feel across.
