Hi all ,
I.ve noticed lately when we look at screen shots or videos of maps or entities
that many of us seem to not see them as intended as they appear either too dark or too light
on our screens at home.
This is often the case if we have not calibrated our monitor screen properly or
we have just set it up as it appears nicely to us.
Just in case anyone else is interested here are a few screen calibration info sites
that might help anyone interested in making sure others see the images or videos they make in a similar
way to how they were meant to be seen and for us when receive the images or videos we will see them
in the manner they were meant to be seen.
I hope I explained this clearly enough and here below are some links

Yup, there are definitely calibration issues between different screens vs the ay images are displayed on the forums, i've had it before where i've posted screenshots and been told its too dark, but is perfect on my screen. It's mostly laptop resolutions like 1366x768 etc that have this issue. I'm pretty sure it's something that should be fixable from the forum admin side of things, as i don't see it happen very often with other websites and forums.

my screenshots normally look darker on the ipad... so maybe my screen is too bright.
