In this case it a dodgey old CRT system that was probably
set dim to avoid 'flame out'. Hence when viewed on either
of the other systems both of which have TFTs. No, they are
NOT LCDs; LCD is like a digital watch and can't do colour!

I 'fixed' the pic on the dark monitor, hence it is now too
light on a 'more correct' screen.

Thank-you; we aim to please. :-)

Incidentally, those 'flat panel' monitors, despite what you
may see advertised etc, are NOT LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display). Liquid Crystal only comes in one colour - black.
   Tiny magnetic particles are polarised to form an opaque
surface between two thin sheets of glass. 'Colours' in
watches with LCD screens are background colours that are
obscured by the black liquid crystal when it is 'on'. The
monitors are TFT (Thin Film Transistor); like tiny LEDs
(Light Emitting Diodes) all bunched together. Some of the
real big 'monitors' can be plasma that uses a modified CRT
(Cathode Ray Tube) system - like many tiny monitors joined
together, each the size of one pixel.

So feel free to call them 'flat panel', but please don't
call them LCD!

Scrapper, Black Dragon, picky with his technology terms.
