Why dont you put a color photo on them side by side.
And then move your head a bit around.
And enjoy the horrible color depth of the LCD.

How old are the LCDs you are looking at? I can remember that as a
major problem when I saw the Crimean War Exibition that the War Museum
in London put on but that was a couple of years ago and the screens
were pretty old then.

I can promise you that there is no such problem on my Samsung
SyncMaster 214T - no even at really stupid angles of vision.

I find the same with my 244T if you take the time to correctly calibrate
it.
I found the default settings a bit on the bright side. I matched the color
settings with my laptop for photo editing and I love this thing. LCDs
have
come a long way in the last few years especially with color depth and
viewing angle issues.

Amen!
I personally like the settings of my LCD panel as it came right out of
the box. It looks almost exactly the same as my previous CRT had.

I suppose I *could* tweak the settings to match my color-laser-printer
instead; but I like the video settings better ... they're more
"lifelike". I suppose if I needed to see what things would look like
when printed very often, I'd probably quickly change my mind on that.

I do a lot of outdoor photography and carry my laptop out in the field and
may do some basic edititing in the woods (plug it into the aux power plug on
my ATV). I like to get the colors matched for when I get back home and do
any final touchup work. I found that the default settings were just a bit
bright. I just softened it a little and used a color card to match up the
two screens and it is about as close as it gets now. My old eyes really like
this 244T.......:-). There is a lot of real estate on this thing.
