i have a question. are most of u guys using windows xp or below.
cause every now and then i hear about images being too dark or not looking right. i was checking out a pic i made in maya today in school on a 98 computer and it did appear dark and not right looking. but on my computer with xp it appeared just fine.

I doubt it has anything to do with windows, your school monitors are either really old or the brightnes settings need to be turned up.

well i dont see how the brightness of the pic itself has anything to do with a monitor. the monitor only can brighten up how well u see the pic. the pic could still be wrong even if u did brighten up the monitors.

It has everything to do with it. There is a whole science of tuning a monitor, there are devices that costs thousands of $ of just tuning the colors on monitors. For example I have a dual monitor set up, and pictures on my old IBM 17" are way too dark and looks like crap.

I notice a massive difference is picture quality when i actually set this monitor up properly instead of using default values. Only it takes ages to do.
