The character is from Poser 6.0 and rendered in POVRAY using Poseray 3.12 to
convert the obj and texture files from Poser to POVRAY. Please ignore the
clothes, I wanted a PG rated image :)

Something I've noticed using a LCD screen versus my old CRT screen - the
brightness of the image varies depending on my position relative to the screen
with the LCD screen. This is a real pain trying to get a consistent brightness
from one render to the next.

Hair is the reason I've steered away from Poser figures in POV, haven't 
tried it for a while now.  But that looks good here.  Koz's ponytail is 
what it might be?

Found the same here, but it seems CRT monitors are an endangered species.

You should try the new LEDD displays. They are supposed to be almost 
vewing angle neutral. Those use an array of LEDs instead of relyng on 
polarised light and liquid cristals.

Are you sure you're not talking about LCD screens with LED-backlights? 
'cause, AFAIK real LED-screens (OLED actually, normal LED's are too big for 
screens) aren't available yet.

And if you are: those screens have almost the same image quality as normal 
LCD-screens.  Slightly better colours, but viewing-angles are exactly the 
same.

Or just simply a proper LCD monitor. Start with searcing for PVA-panel
and if you can't find one, consider IPS -panel. Anyway, forget the
TN-panels (which most monitors use, since they are the cheapest ones),
and you're off with a good start.

Strange, but I saw some in the flyers I regularly receive at my door. 
Yes, OLED display ARE available right now. The thing is, they cost much 
more than LCDs.

I can recommend the Lenovo L220X
I've never used it, but it gets very good reviews, has very good 
specifications (S-PVA panel, 1920x1200 resolution on a 22" screen, AFAIK the 
only 22" with that resolution) and a nice price (about 500$, which is low 
for such a monitor)

Always work on the textures, especially Kozaburo's hair, and add/change the 
hues, as the baked in highlights will always look artificial. Look at the 
ponytail in ChrisH's image. The hues are not right imo. In between Poser and 
POV-Ray there is much to tweak before things look right.

Jessie is indeed not the most attractive character, but you can always 
change/morph her in the face room for instance  :-)

That's not POV-Ray's fault :)

But yes, it's a common effect with LCDs, and virtually inevitable. I guess it's
less prominent with newer or more costly panels, but even then it cannot be
eliminated completely.

OLEDs should perform a lot better in this respect. As soon as the "pigment"
lifetime issues are solved.

Alternatively, get a beamer :)

	Actually, it can. PVA and IPS panels have near perfect uniformity. 
The downside is that they use twice as much power as the TN panels 
for the same brightness (and that is inevitable).
