Chap. 3, backlight assignment

[Ati]

4.00 pm,
Canon G11, Av, ISO 200, 1/320, F4.0, evaluative metering.
Flash at -1
zoomed about 2x to avoid flash reflections on the skin
the G11 has a bad habit, if you set it to forced flash it doesn't respect the aperture setting under Av mode !
I work on a laptop, and and am realising more and more how sensitive screen angle is.    You look at a photo, skin tone and colour saturation are perfect, then pull the screen forward a few degrees and it looks completely washed out.    Is there a recommended 'ideal angle' to work to ?
I tend to work with the screen pushed back a bit, so with a perpendicular line of sight this one might look too pale.
