On my monitor at home (CRT), which I use for photo editing and for voting, I can see both my neck and my shoulder in this photo. On my monitor at work (LCD), which is too dark, the only thing I can see is part of my face and of course the bright slot of light. The rest of the picture is completely black.
I like the lighter "version" much better.
Can you see my neck and shoulder?

| I can barely see it. Why don't you just clone it out? Great pic, by the way. |

I'm using a CRT and can just make out your neck and shoulder. I recently switched to using a LCD but went back to my CRT cause I just couldn't get used to the differences of the LCD.

Maybe on your monitor that's how it works. I can barely see neck and shoulders and all other pics are not washed out.
On the tone bar below a picture being voted on I can barely make out the difference between the last two black squares.

My monitor is almost brand new and perfectly calibrated and I can't see that neck or shoulder without extremely brightening the screen. At a calibrated position, it's too dark for me.

I can see the neck and shoulder with relative ease on my Sony E500 CRT. It is properly calibrated for black point.
Whether you can make out the differences between dark tones is not only dependent on the type of monitor and whether it is calibrated (or miscalibrated) but also what type of monitor. Low-end CRTs often have trouble reproducing dark tones, as do older CRTs (phosphors darken over time). LCDs often, but not always, tend to be brighter on the dark end of the brightness spectrum. Again, low-end ones are worse.

yes I can, but the neck is on the edge of sinking into black.
