Nikon D800 screen

Me and friend went out to photograph today and noticed we took the same image and his image just looked so much better with the same settings and equivalent lens I own the Nikon D800 and he has the Canon 5DIII.

Am I missing something or does the Nikon screen look washed out compared to the Canon screen.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Sorry guys I meant to say the image in the camera screen the canon just seem to have deeper colors, even the sky and clouds looked more realistic on the canon screen compared to the Nikon.

His image just looked a tad but better in terms of color and we did the image with the exact same settings. I think I may have had active d lighting turned off.

As has been said, he could have boosted any contrast/saturation setting at will and even when both at default the canon will produce punchier jpegs - that is just a design decision. The screens may be different as ell, e.g. the glossy screen tend to give the appear of deeper blacks but the reflections are worse so monitors for graphics work and photo edition have matt screens.

Thats food for thought i will look into this more with him.
