This image looks different when I look on my laptop. I can see the sloppy job I did with burning, which I couldn't notice on my desktop where the monitor is at an eye level. Now I can see it even on monitor if I stand up and look down at the screen.



Note to self - "Verify that picuture looks okay from all the angels." Just curious, what percent of people use laptop or not have screen at the eye level.

I use a laptop, but mine is at eye level...I just thought the "fanning" effect fell a little short (it is clumped in the middle)...that was all for me...really liked the colors and focus

I stopped voting using my laptop. I don't remember what challenge it was, but I was reviewing after voting ended on my desktop and looked at a few of the photos that I "knocked down" for various reasons and discovered that a number of things that I had seen were a result of my laptop. None of the votes were knocked more than a point or two, but still it bothered me enough to change my voting habits.

It really surprised me how big of a difference it made as both monitors are calibrated.

It's not a matter of what "level" the screen is at, it's just a matter of having it be perpendicular to your line-of-sight. It's actually BETTER for you, ergonomically, to have the screen lower than eye level. But yeah, it DOES make a difference as far as the brightness of the viewed image goes, that the screen be at right angles to your line of sight, not just vertically but horizontally as well.

I use my laptop in voting about 60% of the time and I am pretty sure I used it for the post it challenge - have to agree with Ja-9 regarding the fanning effect.
