> I was very surprised at how much more subtle light themes are compared to dark when viewed on different screens.

This does not surprise me. I do analog black and white printing (from film) and it's a well known thing that our eye is much better at detecting subtle tonal changes in light areas of a print than darker ones. For this reason, a lot of the time in tweaking the right exposure and contrast for a print is spent to make those hightlights look "just right". I don't print digitally, but I am sure the same principles will apply there too.

This is why, as policy, I don’t judge negatives any more. I always print contact sheets and make my initial judgments there.
