My MacBookPro's screen is pretty impressive for a laptop/LCD too. But I find the MacBookPro screen good for sRGB viewing and my Dell 2007WFP best for viewing AdobeRGB images, which works well for my work flow considering my D300 is set-up to record in aRGB format and I publish on the web with sRGB.
That's interesting. My computer monitor is a LED monitor, and I know for act my highlights aren't blown in the histogram (I've got PLENTY or room on the end, across all three channels). Maybe it's just the difference of A) My cheap ass monitor at work vs B) my Macbook Pro at home.
Yeah my Dell 19" LCD was digital, and when I looked at photos on my old work analog monitors, everything looked a good half to full step underexposed.
Now my Dell LED monitor looks a full stop over exposed relative to my Dell 19" LCD and my work Samsung 30", and my Sony 40" LCD television.
Head north 'til you smack a polar bear, then crank it back 50 miles.

On my Mac, I ran a calibration program that included screen brightness and contrast settings. I don't recall the name of it, but I was able to re-run it and set another profile for when I'm attached to my HPw2007 22 inch. Now the pictures look virtually identical between the Mac LCD and the HP, even though there is a couple generations of technology difference between the two displays. Before that, the Mac display looked horrendous.
I agree with Rich on the car image, except for the dark part on the left it looks nice.
It's not an HDR though. The dynamic range of the image is still the same as it would have been with a single shot (the sky is still blown out). Perhaps you did tonemap the image, which means that you adapted the brightness of certain parts of the image, but this is not yet an HDR.
Rich, another fantastic macro. Amazing colours. Odd looking insect, by the way. I've never seen one like that before around here.
Here's a picture I took yesterday of the fall colours around here:
Nikon D-50 // Nikkor 70-300 f/4-5.6 VR // Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8 // Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5 ...// Nikon SB-600 // Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6......// Nikon Series E 135 mm f/2.8 // Kiron 105 f/2.8 Macro....// Manfrotto 190XPROB + 488RC4 // Nikkor 35 f/1.8..........// Sigma 500 mm f/8
I like the use of lines in that one Prospero. It starts at the branch and ends with the clouds. The posts are weird, at first they look really short but after a while you notice their actually pretty long .
