I was expecting to see no difference. But b*gger me they did look different - the Safari rendition seemed to be slightly darker. I was so surprised by this that I then tried with Firefox and IE, and found that again the IE rendition looked darker than Firefox. Then I compared IE and Safari and discovered that this time the IE one was lighter - seemingly the same as I recalled Firefox.
Then the penny dropped. Whichever browser was on the right hand side of the screen gave a seemingly darker rendition. Swapping the positions of Firefox and Safari reversed the difference - Firefox now looking darker. I believe it might be down to the direction from which the ambient lighting comes (but that's just my layman's guess). -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86236 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
