Very very slightly down the bottom left? a few touches on PS could clone that out fairly easily now though

you should be able to see all the creases in the curtain but I can't on this monitor, only a hint of something through the arm and above it which I probably wouldn't notice if I didn't already know what i was looking for.

Here's something a bit arty i took a week or so ago and I forgot to put online!

Just a quick question. Can anyone see the details of the curtain hanging behind the model, i.e make out that there is a curtain? I can't on my main monitor or on the laptops but I can on my tablet. need to check a better monitor in the house but the fact I can't on this monitor is making me think I need a better one.

Yep I can see every single crease on my smartphone which has really surprised me... Loads of detail to be seen. Will have to check on my laptop screen..

Just plain black on the laptop but like SNSSO I can see them all on the smartphone. Looks much better on the laptop.

Laptop probably has a back-lit LCD display, compared with a likely OLED display on smartphone or tablet.

Does the difference mean that digital photography is heading for a mini crisis of sorts?

I am seeing a fair amount on my laptop screen (but nowhere near as much as the smartphone), mostly around her hair, back & arm, the peak of the tiara and the bottom left of the photo, but tbh I had mistaken the some of it for her hair being much longer (down to her backside) and the bottom left as a dirty laptop screen ...

Maybe, if only because the display technology has changed. I recall there was a monitor calibration app that I used to run on Windows that went through a process that corrected any colour and brightness imbalances, very useful on LCD , it's probably still relevant and necessary with newer OLED displays.

Another from my recent tour in southern France, taken in a small quirky local museum in the village of Lagrasse.

OK after exhaustive tests:

Device 1 - Motorola Moto G - Sreen Size: 4.5", Resolution: 720 x 1280 pixels, Pixel Density: 326 ppi, Screen Type: IPS LCD

Can see the curtain a little bit.

Device 2 - Nexus 7 - Screen Size: 7", Resolution: 1920 x 1200 pixels, Pixel Density: 323 ppi, Screen Type: LED-backlit IPS LCD

Can see the curtain.

Device 3 - Desktop PC:

Monitor 1: iiyama Prolite E2473HDS - Screen Size: 23.6", Resolution: 1920 x 1080 pixels, Pixel Density: Dont Know, Screen Type: LED-Backlit TN LCD

Can see the curtain the best on this one

Monitor 2: Dell UltraSharp U2412M - Screen Size: 24", Resolution: 1920 x 1200 pixels, Pixel Density: Dont Know, Screen Type: LED-Backlit e-IPS

Cant see the curtain

I have had a look at the contrast and brightness specs between the 2 desktop screens and the iiyama screen has a 5 000 000 : 1 dynamic contrast ratio where the Dell is 2,000,000:1 so that is probably why I can see it on the iiyama better than the Dell. But the Dell is an IPS Panel where the iiyama is only a TN Panel and the blacks on the Dell are very very very black indeed.

I can see the curtain a bit on the laptop which is a Sony i5 with a 17" LED back lit screen but I can find any other specs for it.

Conclusion: I can see the curtain on some devices better than others

Right place, right time today, walking down the local canal seeing what pictures I could take, and this duck just took off to the left of me.
