For what it's worth, and in my opinion, based on there being a Peter
Lik gallery 15 minutes walk from me, I would offer that they do look
better as prints, improved even moreso under the gallery's lighting. I
would actually say they are quite awesome, without using that word as
a simple throwaway for "really good". I'm not greatly into his style
of photography, but I am most impressed when seeing his photos at full
size.
Cheers,

PS. For those so inclined, Peter Lik himself isn't hard on the eyes either
