hmm. have you done that colour-adjustion thingy with your screen at home? because i think your screen at work has a proper colour management ... ? then again, I don't know if I see what you see since I'm using an OCR, haha. Anyway, that's stupid :/

*headdesk* CRT, I mean.

mwaah!!

i've done lots of color tweaking.. I know there is more I can do simply because my graphics crad is so ancient. So I plan to wait till the new PC, but still the difference is boggling!!!!

that sucks.
when are you getting the new computer?

I'm hoping next week!!!

Can't agree more with the frustration! The two sets actually look completely different. Whatever I make on a CRT looks absolutely crap on LCD/laptops, like they're over sharpened and saturated.

They do!!! They look so very different... the cRT colors are far more vibrant... which I peronally like loads better.... then other colors look dead...

and exactly... on LCD it's always attack of the pixel!"!! My laptop is horrendous in that respect!

i just ignore how my icons look on a crt screen and focus on LCDs. though you know, i really like some of those but obviously not the magenta-y ones :D

But given that most people still use CRT.-doesn't that bother you? I'm not sure how I feel about it. I love your icons... they look good on the crt I have at work.. I just want the more vibrant colors!!!

well actually, my sister uses CRT and i just randomly check how they look on it and the difference is not too big, they're just slightly darker on hers. so i'm cool with it. i also had her install some thing adobe gama and it's gotten much better since. :S

Just a sligh difference??? mmmmm......

I totally understand your frustration, I don't even make icons, but just changing the colors on my LJ, it's one color on my screen at work, and when I go on my computer at home, it's different, but my computer at home is a laptop, but still, they should be pretty much the same.

Yeah-laptops are extremely critical in that respect!!
looking at my flist using my laptop is quite painful!

i went through a similiar thing with my new laptop, and decided just to use my old computer because you just can't tell how it will look on different screens...and you're right-these are better ♥

Yes, it is frustrating as hell!!!! I wish everyone would just use the same hardware grrr!

I agree, it's very frustrating. I think my icons are way better since I've been making them on the new PC with the new LCD monitor, but I'm sure people with CRTs wouldn't agree. ;) And not even all LCDs are the same. I've looked at some of my work on other people's laptops, and have been shocked at how different - and not in a good way - some of it looks.

Actually..I do like your icons a lot better now.. both on crt and on lcd... but I dunno... it could be you just got ebtter period ;)

I guess you can never please everyone!

Seee.... but you'Re the only one!!! it is so sad! *sniff*

Very different!!!!!!! And I like the crt better period.. cos the colors are more true and vibrant. ah well..
