I just finished calibrating my monitor, well under linux I still need to check under windows. The main reason to do this is to see images properly. The first step was to set the black level and picture. I did this with the lights off to get a better result. It's also likely to make Deus Ex and Thief look better since I play them in the dark. The next step was to set the gamma for my monitor. An interesting note here, according to mutliple sources the normal monitor gamma is between 2.35 and 2.55 mine was 2.5, my monitor however reported its gamma to be 2.85. Of course it's also not quite right about its dpi either, vertical is correct horizontal is to low. Now I just have to set the gamma in windows.
