??
what? that to me seems like the same picture uploaded to imageshack twice.
either that or its a REALLY close call
*or is that the reason for the edit?
Like i said before, i think its the same picture uploaded twice, or the same origin image modified twice then uploaded, thing is the image looks the same bit by bit
if you have an LCD screen, side by side or above and below the brightness in the pictures are going to look a bit different because of the viewing angle, so its more noticeable the way the poster did it, side by side would look closer.
On a professional flat CRT monitor that problem is almost completely gone, and the pictures look identical above and below or side by side.
those who didnt noticed, have you eyes checked a.s.a.p.
i dont have those flashlights to talk about the beam characteristics, but the evidence is there by itself.
so now as a note: professional CRTs are way more reliable for imaging and color matching than LCDs, also the refresh rate on 21" CRTs make them better and more comfortable to look with moving images, i dont care how fast LCD makers say the response time is, it isnt remotely close to a good CRT, and i have to use both at the same time for work, LCDs are great for reading and working CAD (if used at native res) since the image is absolutely flat and the pixels are all the same, also brightness difference in view angles dont affect in those activities
But for seeing photos, color matching and SPECIALLY movies and fast moving games, CRTs are unbeaten, specially 21" ones or bigger with a diamondtron NF or trinitron flat tube. (yes they are expensive, i had to look for a used one in great conditions for working and found one at 65 usd, when it came out its price was close to 800 usd
)
one more example of a non mature product displacing a great one, i dont know if/when LCDs will get better than pro CRTs (for the uses stated) but they are not there yet.
