The monitor is a BIT dim, but playable in the light. The light in that room is very bright and right in front of the screen, meaning glare even on a low glare screen. When I first got it it was really dim, so I took the screen off and cleaned the projector lenses. That made a HUGE difference, the lenses looked like someone had been using them as an ash tray.
The color may be off, I have never made a real effort to balance it. It's certainly not working poorly, it's just not adjusted in those pics.
