How bad is my monitor?
I recently (like 10 seconds ago) uploaded a photo for the assignment. I was editing it in one screen, and it looked (as close as it would go) perfect. Then I uploaded it from the other screen, and it looked dark, and super desaturated. It's like a complete different image. The other one is a laptop, so I wasn't expecting much, but this was crazy.
Could some of you with calibrated monitors take a look at this photo (a different one, but I see a huge difference with this one too) and tell me how it looks?  TIA

As far as saturation levels go...it looks fine to me. Not over-saturated, and not washed out either. Colors look pretty good on my monitor.

Thanks guys. I'm on my dad's new monitor, which came calibrated. Just looks a little desaturated, so I guess I'll just reduce the saturation on my monitor and it should be find. oh,and remember to stay away from the laptop screen when editing.

A touch dark for me, and the colours could be brighter, but not terrible.

I thought the colour was slightly desaturated today, but tonight it looks spot on. Guess I should do my processing at night
