I've wondered the same thing.  I use LCD on a newish laptop.  A lot of the 
images posted to the LUG seem (to me) to have blown highlights.  Even those 
from obviously competent photographers, like Don and BD.  Some others 
(Nathan, GeeBee, Doug Herr come to mind) usually look "right" on my screen.  
Now I'm wondering how my post-processing looks to others.  Maybe some of you 
could take a look at http://pswango.smugmug.com/ and let me know what you 
think.  One gallery is recent color stuff from a trip to DC and the other 
two are B/W galleries from the distant past that have already been discussed 
here.  All the color is from Walgreen scans; all the B/W is scanned from 
negatives on an Epson 3170.  The color was tweaked slightly for curves in 
Picasa2, taking care to avoid blown highlights.  I'm wondering how it looks 
on other monitors.
