Looks fine -- but then again, it's hard to tell what you should be getting.

The real question should be:  what does the graph of "the screen" look like?
In other words and more important which matches what you see on the screen.
I don't know of anyway to "measure" this match accuracy.  But that's what
I think we really want to know.
