of course there is, the presumption is that all monitors used to judge the final colors are properly calibrated (including those commenting here, and mine is).

you do have a point tho, hardly anybody uses high end CRT anymore (still the best display technology), and even within lcd brands/models there is a significant variation. also most commenting on screenshots in this forum wont have calibrated their monitors, or even know how to do it. oleg's gfx team does still use crt's for that exact reason.

yeps, fully agreed. which is why oleg keeps emphasizing the scenery shots he has up to now been posting are wip (including the colors used). this doesnt mean we cant comment on what real english summer scenery looks like be this before or after global warming
