image brightness, PC versus Mac

[Michael Haseltine]

We've been noticing that images that look great on our Macs are very dark on
PCs. Subtle details come through on the Macs and are invisible on PCs. Is
this a remnant of Macs pioneering the paper-white monitor that PCs haven't
caught up to, or some other phenomenon? What are others doing about it, or
don't you have this problem?

A workaround is to use bold colors and simple designs, but we're trying to
put up some black and white photos relevant to various projects, and they
aren't looking so good on the PCs.

Thanks for any feedback,
