Color compliant programs look great on it. Everything matches. Prints from pro-lab also come looking great. I am previewing sRGB Jpegs on non ICC aware browsers on my own machine. That is when the images go flewy and look ruddy skinned. I check out my web posted images at other computers from time to time and they also look ruddy. My guess is it is a combination of poor representation of images by non-ICC browsers and non-calibrated monitors. But I can't understand why the images would look bad on my system which >should< be in sRGB space. Thats why I like B&W!
