thought there might be some folk in here who may be able to share some knowledge.

i have a laptop w/ an lcd screen that i do all my photo-manip with. depending on what angle i'm viewing the montior from, images are brighter/darker or have different tones. how am i to be sure that what i see is what everyone else sees? is there a standard?

thanks all!

    It's a side effect of LCD technology in the first place. Although this link is full of marketing hyperbole, it's at least a decent overview I found in a couple minutes: http://www.necdisplay.com/support/css/monitortechguide/index05.htm
