All monitors will display colors differently, since each user can adjust his colors, brightness and contrast. Also, as monitors get older, they don't perform as when new.

So you'll never get perfect results. So you must know how to OPTIMIZE your image using the only adjustments that are universal and that - if done correctly - are not dependent on how things look on your monitor ... or someone else's. To put it as simply as possible, you have to adjust an image correctly using LEVELS. If - as most people do - you're adjusting things like brightness and contrast and color balance BEFORE or instead of adjusting Levels ... well, you're doing it wrong, and you will NEVER get consistent results. To learn how to adjust Levels, go to my tutorial here: Scroll down to section 3. Density (Lighting) and learn that. And check the More About Levels page also to get a better understanding of it. Good Luck. Well, for one thing – you have no control over the quality, brightness or color balance of anyone else’s computer. So you’ll never get perfect results.

Everyones' monitor are different and calibrations will be different. Since you've adjusted the picture to look right on you're monitor, it's not going to look like that on other computers. Someone might like their monitor to be a little less bright and this will effect the image that is displayed on it. Unless you get a monitor calibration device and make your friends use it to match your monitor, you're at the mercy of what is set on the computers. Not possible.
