Question about monitors:
So when I scanned and uploaded a few of my pencil sketches onto computers and the interwebs, I pay great attention to the quality (or more technically, the intensity and/or gamma). For most monitors, the image in my siggy looks like the original, where the centerpiece has the most darkness while everything else is kinda like soft fill.
However, when I'm looking at certain monitors in college, the whole image is washed out. Tinkering with the monitor's settings don't really help. You can hardly see the foliage of the tree.
So when you're looking at monitor specs, what should you look out for that will tell you if the display will have issues of being too light or too dark? (And yes, looking at reviews is always an option.)
