Testing, testing..

I'm still getting to grips with my new monitor display/resolution settings and need feedback about how my screenshots are looking on other peoples monitors.
In particular I need to know two important things-
Firstly do the pics below look too bright, too dull, or about right?
Secondly which size looks best, the small one or the large one?
Thanks

First one looks better mate.

[Copper]

Yeah I go with that.... first one is better.

[Mikey_FGM]

Contrast and Brightness are perfect.

First one is crisp, clear, and will fit all monitors.
Second one... not so much...

First one is best.

[Mike Abberton]

I agree with the others. Contrast good, smaller size is better

[PoorOldSpike]

Okay but what about photos, which one of these below looks best, the small or the large?

[Copper]

Smaller one again.

[PoorOldSpike]

Amazing! I thought people would prefer large sizes splashed across almost the full width of their widescreens, that's what having a widescreen allows us to do.
Maybe they don't have widescreens, I dunno..

The smaller ones fit the board nicely ad the resoluion appears higher as the bigger ones are slightly pixelated.

[Mikey_FGM]

Yes, again, I prefer the smaller one. Here's why:

-Difference in detail is negligible between the two.
-Smaller photo Conforms to the limitations of the format of this message board.
-On my widescreen monitor, the larger version is actually too big to entirely fit on one screen. The photo gets cropped in width about one inch.
-Because of crop issue, I have to scroll horizontally to view entire photo.
