I don't want to trigger another thread about this old image, but I will point out that there are significant differences in monitor gamut and gamma across devices. Some cheap laptop LCDs crush blacks and whites significantly if you aren't looking at perpendicular dead center.

It is for this reason that using light blue or light yellow backgrounds to demarcate ads is sinister -- one can A/B test their marker into literal invisibility for many users.

I'm an amateur photographer and have got quite good monitors that I calibrate regularly :) But I've got trained sight, especially for color balance because of that - I can see people faces greenish when they stand under a tree in a sunny day so that's that.
