I don't know. As far as I can tell, whenever I print any images, they seem to match very closely with what I see on the screen. Maybe my printer's dying also...bummer! My monitor at work seems to be very, very slightly brighter than my monitor here at home, but the difference is negligible. That monitor is not an LCD one either. Probably time I entered the 21st century!

Cheers!

Well, the logic in that is that now that LCD monitors are the norm, people doing graphic design should make images that look best on LCD monitors.

I have a rather bad LCD monitor and it still is, in my opinion, better than any CRT monitor. It's sharp, easy on the eyes, and takes up so little space on my desk. I simply don't get why some people still firmly cling to their CRT monitors, like the audiophiles that claim LPs sound better than digital.
