Reddish LCDs?

[Biges]

No matter which LCD I try, I always have tendency to perceive colors as too red (at sRGB settings). So I always lower red. Sometimes less, sometimes much more. I don't have such problem with CRT, not with real life colors. Is it just psychological tendency to have more green colors, or is it just an attribute of backlight in LCDs, that I'm more sensitive to the red component in its light?

Btw, when I replaced my two 60W lightbulbs with two 20W fluorescent light bulbs (descibed as producing as much light as 100W old-school light bulb), my rooms seemed to be much darker then before, so now I combine one 60W and one 12W fluorescent lightbulbs.

My knowledge in optics is very limited (I'm a mere economy student ), so any insight is wellcomed.
Thanks

Do your friends notice that colors look weird on your monitor after you make your adjustments?

If they do then its just you. Consider your self lucky that you aren't a graphic design student

Your screen needs to be adjusted, the color temp is too warm for your liking. I don't know what adjustments your monitor has, if any, or you can do it via your video card software.

If your flourescent lights are too dim, you can buy one with higher power rating but still use flourescent power saving bulbs. There is no need to revert back to old incandescent ligh bulbs. That said, it is strange that a 20w Flourescent could be darker than a 60watt. I've never encountered that issue before. 60w is usually equivalent to 14watt flourescent as I remember it.
