This morning I Hued my monitor and went with the "Corrected" version. Don't always. It's early and full dark. The room is lit by 2 60w (warm and cool) incandescent bulbs behind a serious defusing glass shade. I pulled up the "Coalmine" image and could make out something more than I could during the day yesterday. I know I would still have wanted to see more clearly defined detail, however. There are two 'prox 3'x4' north facing windows about 3 1/2' to my left which sit at right angles to the screen. I do keep track of the angle of the LED and "always" keep it the slightest bit angled to the right to be safe. During the daylight, I keep the curtains and venetian blinds completely open. The room itself is fairly small and can be considered bright at times. Yesterday, however, was a heavily overcast rainy day. There is no doubt that the window light can have a defusing effect on my view of the screen's contrast and, in the future, I'll reserve judgment in this area 'til I've had "another" look.
