Usually the brightness is set different on the monitor to someone's preference on a bright day or in a dark room. Back in the days of CRT it was impossible to get right. In fact very few CRTs were even linear across the screen. Simply displaying a checkerboard made the squares in the middle a different size! I always insisted on Iiyama Vision Master Pro monitors for anyone doing photography.

How do you manage with traffic lights? I don't look at a traffic light as I pass it, I just automatically stop if I see red out of the corner of my eye. But you'd have to check the position of the bulb each time.
