herme3 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Here is a picture of the background image I used on one of my web sites: It is supposed to be blue with navy stripes. I can see it very clearly on my LCD monitor, but it appears to be solid black on my other computer with a CRT monitor. The only way I can see it is if I turn the brightness on the monitor to almost 100%. I think this is strange, because other images do not appear too dark on my CRT monitor. What does your monitor show when you look at the picture I posted above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzurePhoenix Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I see an alternate-dimensional version of New York inhabited by anthropomorphic puppies being consumed by a nuclear mushroom cloud as George Bush and the cast of Loony Toons riverdance in the background. Or horizontal stripes of two alternating blue hues. Could be either, too close to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timo Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It shows barely visible greyish blue stripes on a black background on one LCD and better visible blueish grey stripes on another LCD.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padren Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 If I look at the rest of the white on my screen for a while and look at it...I see black. If I stare at the rectangle for a short time, I do see very dark diagonal stripes against black. I have a CRT screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bascule Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 It shows whoever designed that background wasn't conscious enough of value (i.e. chrominance) separations to ensure that it would display correctly on a variety of different displays.

Phi for All Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Give it up insane, my Monkey Island reference was way better. Actually, insane_alien wins for brevity, AzurePhoenix is second for creativity, and you're last for being whiney. Not that this is a contest or anything. insane_alien wins a trip to Scotland, AzurePhoenix will receive a life-sized poster of George Bush with his mentor Wile E. Coyote and Gilded gets a set of steak knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaAotS Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 hijacked ted hijack read jack read thed damn. apparently not! I clearly see navy and black diagonal lines... however if I stare at it for awhile it becomes black. Some kinda optical illusion... O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 well, it's definately a blue of some sort, the darker lines aren't solid black but the "blue" lines arent all to bright either. it's very dark (still visible) on my crt but the rgb values still say blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herme3 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 I clearly see navy and black diagonal lines... however if I stare at it for awhile it becomes black. Some kinda optical illusion... O.o Wow, you are right! If I stare at it for a while on my LCD monitor, it appears to go from blue and navy stripes to all navy. When I blink my eyes, I can see the stripes again. I've never tried staring at it before. Of course, it is very late at night (actually early in the morning) and everything looks like an optical illusion at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 It also depends on the angle between your eyes and the monitor. If I move down, so the monitor is pointing above my head then it seems all black. The higher above the monitor I go, the lighter it all becomes. And whether I slouch or not does make a bit of a difference. But normally I'd see grey stripes on blue background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
