You can, indeed, be quite mislead by the image on the LCD, which is why
deleting images in the camera makes little sense except for those that
are obviously grossly over or under-exposed, blurred, or otherwise
unquestionably of no use.

Theoretically for pure white you must have seriosly overexposure, not

Being comparatively new to digital, I placed too much trust in the LCD 
monitor. It misled me recently as to what is really on the image file.
So you are 
right. We learn something new everyday in photography. It seems that the
only 
information we can believe on the monitor is the actual view of the
image -- but 
I'm even suspicious of that now.
