New Monitor - Too dark?

[HQP]

Please tell me what you think in about these. Without calibrating my monitor I need to know what they look like on your screen. Thanks for your help.

Apple Cinema HD - Full Brightness
First Photo - the space between them at the small of her neck appears completely dark. Everything else has detail and seems to have a "natural" amount of light.
2nd Photo - She is a little gray. His left temple/brow is very bright, but not washed out. His left collar is washed out - no apparent detail.

On my system the upper left picture is way too red, but the brightness/contrast is fine.

In the right hand picture, there is much less red, although his skin tones are still a little too red. Her skin tones look normal. In this shot her face is not as bright as the left hand picture, but both faces are still within the range of good brightness and contrast.

Both images appear a little on teh red side to me...the first one moreso than the second.

They look ok on my monitor.

Whew, I thought mine was dark but after reading this thread I see them fine and also with a touch too much red. I feel better now :)

Looking good here too :)

Her skin looks a little redder in the first image,. but not bad. It's odd though as his shirt does not look red at all,. the white looks accurate.

Ahhhh... took a closer look at the second image which explains the issue with the first,. his shrt isn't white,. it has lite bluish tones.. so by getting teh bluish shirt white in the first pic that pushed the skin tones redder.

I doubt that is monitor related.

Comparing monitor behavior across the internet is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
