   I have not run any tests on recent computer monitors, but older monitors
were not noted for good display quality. The primary red, green, and blue
screen light emitters need to correspond to the eye sensitivity so that each
has maximum effect on the relevant eye sensors together with minimum effect
on the others on any individual eye, and that may vary. The real average eye
sensitivities do not make it easy to achieve.
   Some of the tricks used to obtain better results include using a matrix
to create a new set of three colour drives by adding and subtracting small
amounts of the other two original colours, as well as individual gamma
corrections. This may need to be different for each monitor version.
