I've not been spot metering. All shooting is in manual mode with a fixed lighting distance and visual evaluation on-screen. And that last part seems to be the biggest issue. This Samsung display is one of the few flat screens that I've used which as a clarity similar to a good tube. (My favorite being an old 19" SGI.) The average LCD seems to be the weak link for which I need to compensate.
in the case of these very dark metal parts, you might want to use a curve that increases the dynamic range at the dark end; the result might not be literal, but it will be easier to take in
