I am not sure if this is ther right place for this but....

I just got a new computer (laptop) for my new job.

Wonderful fast machine plenty of memory and horsepower to do anything I want.  Great monitor...

All this is wonderful... but here is the problem.  All my art looks completely different on the monitor than on my old laptop... I checked my destop (which I have barely touched for a year and come to find that it (my art... any graghic) looks different than either of the laptops.  hmmm which is the right setting?  Is there a "right"?  Is there a "norm" or standard and how do I check is my monitor is close to the "Standard"

Now my new lap top every thing is brighter almost over exposed... yeah, I know I could just change the brightness on this one but the whole things got me wondering about display standards.... but I am not sure which of the three (or two of the three) monitors I am looking at is "wrong".

The frustrating thing is some of the art look pretty darn good (not surprisingly on the machine that created it) but kinda sucky on the other machines.

Anyone have any idea's on setting displays to a "standard" - how do you check it?
