I guess I expected too much for people's monitors to be adjusted for a full color range. Those gray scales are placed under the pictures you are voting on for a reason. I guess it doesn't pay to be subtle.

No words. Are you trying to get the lowest score in this challenge? I don't mean to offend you if you put great effort into this photo. But I find this photo uninspiring.

Too true. This is a good idea

i agree with the term wholeheartedly, but i would have liked to have seen the text more prominent, and less obviously on its own sheet of paper. perhaps more of the unit would also help to identify it as a television.

This does'nt really get the message across effectively, but a nice try.

I think the idea is good but it should be more highlighted.

It was a good idea, but I think it could have been executed better. As is, it's a bit boring, and the paper is quite evident in the reflection.

I hope peoples monitors are set properly as the words are very hard to see
maybe they would work better on the other side - 6
