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!!!!

[half-lit-world.livejournal.com]

that sucks.
when are you getting the new computer?

[elli.livejournal.com]

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 ♥

[elli.livejournal.com]

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!

[elli.livejournal.com]

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..
