Lots of monitors cannot display full range of blacks/whites and so display many images as clipped in either or both ends.

On my main monitor I can (just) see every step on both the white and black test charts. But on my crummy netbook screen, I cannot see anything in the bottom half of both test charts.

Yeh, I knew that but it is hard to leave it looking clipped on my monitor, so I just processed it to look ok to me here
