LCD spectrum
This is the spectrum from my LCD. There are four spectrums here -- the first shows "white", the next is blue, then green, then red. There seems to be some red and blue showing up in green, and green shows up in blue (but not red). I don't know if this is due to light leakage into the "off" pixels on the LCD or if it was designed to work like this and they're just using off colors to balance the colors correctly.
I'm a bit color blind and I've always found it easier to tell color on my CRT monitor, and I never really knew why. I'm guessing it's due to the narrow bands on the LCD. I have the same problem with flourescent lights -- certain colors will look weird. Flagstaff is near Fort Lowell observatory so the streetlights are some sort of special low light pollution lights. Everybody else could see normally but to me, my red car looked purple. I'm guessing it had some weird spectrum going on too.
