Flat Screen Brightness

[michellegportraits]

I have a 19 or 21 inch (something like that) flat screen computer monitor, and after printing alot of my pictures (monitor already calibrated) I noticed that if I am sitting up too much in my chair, my angle of the computer makes the pictures look brighter than they actually are, and if I'm slouched in my chair the pictures are the brightness they'll actually print. It really aggravates me that just moving my head a little up and down in front of my screen varies the brightness of the photo. Does anyone else get annoyed by their flat screen?? I feel like every time I edit a photo I need to sit way back and look at the screen from exactly center height to make sure I'm not making it brighter or darker because I'm sitting wrong. UGH.

Happens with the vast majority of LCD screens: you can get some that DONT do that. Theyre expensive though.
