22 inch LCD monitors: the 3rd wave! (page 5: Gray rendering)

More on grey rendering…

Unless you are an expert in monitors (and even then), it is difficult to imagine what these differences can represent. What is the most bothersome, however, is when we can immediately see color dominances on the screen. This can affect all colors but is particularly noticeable in grays where the eye can quickly see when blues or reds are overrepresented.

Here are the screen’s grays and reproduced as measured by our sensor. For comparison, on the bottom line are the ideal grays.

Whether the screen you are currently using is calibrated or not, you should be able to see the differences between the two lines.
