color intrepretation

Why is it that computers, other than mine, intrepret the color of the page I
built differently? I don't recall ever having this problem before when
building other sites.

32 bit color is different from 16 bit color, and different video cards, drivers and monitor all show
colors differently. You have no control over this. The best I have found it to design in 16 bit
color, not 32 bit.

So much for my Nvidia Geoforce driven, 17 inch flat panel LCD monitor.

It seem that 16 bit color reproduce truer colors in 32 bit or 8 bit (1998-9 days) video systems,
then 32 bit on a 16 bit or 8 bit video system. So since them I have just stayed with 16 bit.

how are those LCD's for graphics work? This old crt is about shot and so are my eyes from looking at it...been thinking of getting a 19" LCD - maybe a BenQ or LG ??

I already have a Radeon 9200se card...just need a new monitor.

Setting your monitor's gamma will help...it will also drive you looney trying to set it correctly.

They are sharper with text than graphic, and fuzzy if not view directly head on. Also most have a
fixed/optimal resolution. I chose CTX S760, 17" 1280 x 1024, 3 Yr Warranty and the price was right,
with no rebate, as it met the min. requirement of a good LCD monitor based on an article I read on
PC World for Image Contrast Ratio of 450:1, Image Max H-View and V-View Angle of 160 degrees
