A high key lighting setup is going to result in a very ugly histogram, and if you try to adjust thigs to avoid clipping, then you are pretty much screwing yourself. The same goes of a low key background, if you try to make a pretty histogram, then you may as well forget about getting a nice picture of the subject (though the background will rock). One of the things I am very happy about with the K20 is that the LCD can be tweaked in. I haven't done it yet, but at some point I am going to check it to ensure that it matches my monitor as closely as possible.
