| What is the darkest grey you can see? | |||
| Yep, which is the darkest grey you can see in the bars? Don't just pick black, actually look closely. | |||

I can barely make out 010101. Sweet.

| #010101 for me is very close to black, but not quite.
So for me the darkest is black  ____________________ =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] |

| Ah, so it's the darkest before black? So in my case it's #010101 as well.
By the way, why is multi-voting enabled? ____________________ =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] |

Paulguy's Post configuration Multiple monitors. :| I voted twice. One for my main LCD and another for my iphone. only issue is this can't quite account for people who have multiple monitors that have the same result... oh well.
Also, I meant the actual darkest color you can see, counting black. so if #000000 is darker than #010101 on your display, you'd pick #000000. ____________________ |

| Multiple monitors... I see.
Unfortunately I have only one monitor. I do have a laptop though, but I'm too lazy to boot it now just for that... ____________________ =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] |

| I still have a CRT, my trustworthy Samsung SyncMaster 957p, using it with its colour profile (too bad most TFTs have no ICC profiles, maybe you get them off the internet or just make your own using a colorimeter), and still impressed how that screen, despite its age, still shows everything up to #101010 (it is several years in use), although that colour can be seen only if centered in Paint Shop Pro with full view and dark background.
Display driver still is at the default 100% for all colours, gamma correction at 1,0 as well. Still, depending how costs will be, I'd like to buy a good LCD then, probably suitable for photo editing. I wonder how the reference image will look, if you have one of those Eizo screens at the upper end of the price scale, as these babies cover far more than AdobeRGB, like Wide Gamut  ____________________  |

So you still have a CRT? 
CRTs hurt my eyes when not set to a high frequency. And they take a lot of space 
So I'm in no way against your idea of buying a TFT ____________________ =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] Did you know that, in japanese, 'kinoko' means 'mushroom'?

| Well, #080808 is the last one I can see clearly, although I can detect #040404 if I look closely. ____________________ If you have 6.02 x 10^23 melanin molecules clustered together under your skin, you have a mole. |

| @TheKinoko: I run those 1280x1024 at a refresh rate of 85 Hz. Technically this thing could even go up to 1920x1440, but then the frequency would be stuck at 60 Hz (beside the really tiny text on the desktop then). 85 Hz is sufficient for not noticing any flickering. Earlier I used 75 Hz on my older CRTs, as I thought higher than that would make no difference on a CRT. But the difference is noticeable indeed.
On the other hand there is still enough 1024x768 (even some, although rare, 800x600) users out there. See Bloodstar's post. Navigating bigger sites can be quite irritating, if the design is not compatible fully and requires you to scroll. ____________________ |

| That's right. That's what actually makes Bloodstar's layout weird (no offence).
Indeed, 800x600 users will have to scroll to see his posts. But I'm surprised some people are still using 800x600. Those screens are tiny. 1024x768 is acceptable for me, but 800x600 would be really too small. ____________________ =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] =================== [Posted by TheKinoko] |

#101010 Is the lowest I can see with this monitor. Maybe I need to fix a few things, or get a new one...
