How does the Exposure/Brightness/color look on your display?

How does the Exposure/Brightness/color look on your display?
I've got a (2) LCD '22 display setup that have both been calibrated with a Spyder3, but get very different results from screen to screen. The Dell seems to run darker than the Samsung and have tried adjusting them to match. I use the Dell as my primary monitor in Lightroom 2.5 and the Samsung in full screen to see final version. How does it look on your screen? Thanks, Jeff Brand new member

The batter's face is dark and the the entire image looks a tad dark on my monitor. Also, his white pants have a blue tint to them and his skin appears to be a tad on the reddish side as well.

Fidgety,

Thanks so much for the feedback! As I suspected, my monitors are running dark. Out of curosity, What OS are you using? Calibrated? LCD? Brand?

I have no clue what OS means. I'm just using my Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop and haven't done any calibrating to it. I don't worry about that stuff too much anyway as the photo editors make the changes they want to my snaps i.e. contrast, lighting, sharpness, etc.

Calibrated benq monitor here.

The shadows on the legs look blue, but I'd expect that from blue sky.
Face looks a little red, but that's coming off the red astroturf.
It looks OK here.

Perhaps the midtones could do with a little boost.
But you've got peak white in the trousers, and black in the background on the right.

Same results as SmartWombat on a calibrated Sceptre monitor running XP professional.
As Paul said, if the midtones are under, it isn't by very much at all

Same as SmartWombat - Calibrated Dell monitor under daylight bulbs.

Looks okay to me.

On a side note, did he hit the ball? Just asking because he is still looking at the pitcher and his eye is not on the ball. This means i have coached way to much little league basball this year...
