hi what about this other small snippet of text (in attachment)?
on my CRT screen the word "mailbox" is divided in two parts, the left part "mail" (and the vertical bar in the "b") is lighter the right part "box" is darker. I tried to enlarge it, and indeed in the left part many points have a gray value of 170/255 whereas on the right part the lightest point is 135/255 what do you see? ---actually, the way you see my snippet depends on wheter you properly calibrated
