Me again... Hate to make another topic with a sentence question, but I'm having a hard time understanding 見てみた. Thanks for the help.

彼は自分の状況を客観的に見てみたのね。

He tried to, from an objective viewpoint, see the situation he was in~
I'm not sure if that's how those words translate, since it's the first time I've seen them.

But anyway ～てみる = 'try to/see to'

See also this question and its responses for more on てみる.

Yeah, liosamas translation is correct.

"He tried to look at his situation objectively."
