You are my test subjects :D

I want you to look at the image below. Begin with the very bottom image and work upwards till you see which image is _just_ distingiushable. In that you can just barely make out minor details in the image, not just the silouette.

In other words, which one is just _barely_ acceptable? For me it is the second from the bottom, in that I can barely make out subtle details in the rocks, while the very bottom is just black where rock is and nothing else.

    I can see a handful of features in the last one, actually. Then again my screen is quite bright. But second last is the best.

    I can still see some features in the last one but not many. I'd recommend first actually.

    Second to last is just barely acceptable to me.

    Isn't this question fundamentally flawed? Everyone's resolution, gamma, brightness, color adjustments, etc. are different...

    This is why I would like to know what the average persons monitor is like. So I can know how special details in my projects should be like. I wouldn't want a cool picture to look awsome on my monitor but not someone elses. Like a Mac's monitor is somewhat brighter than the average PC monitor. These are issues I have to work with :D

    Excellent point, man. Didn't even consider it.

    Second to last is barely acceptable. That's on my starting-to-show-its age Vewsonic 19" flat CRT. I'll try and remember to view this one of my office's Samsung flat screens tomorrow.

    Second to last, on an old compaq monitor. I would compare to my viewsonic, but my computer has no network hookup, at the moment. That monitor is brighter than most.
  • ketoketo Occupied. Or is it preoccupied? Icrontian

    I can make out detail in the last one *but have to work at it to do so*, so it's sorta uncomfortable. In terms of picking up detail at a fast glance, I actually like the top one. For reference, I find the image in your sig quite a bit too bright on the right hand side.

    2nd to last for sure although the last is borderline.

    Thanks for that information on my sig, made it during lab when I finished all my stuff. Been trying to come up with a new logo as well, instead of Fusion Digital Media which has been taken by a few people already. DFXR sounds cool and nothing shows up in google when I first searched for it. ;) Needs more work still.

    Thanks everyone too, this is alot of help :clap:

    I can't see details until the second from the top. This is on my 19" Sony Trinitron at work, with a window behind me glaring right on the screen.
