Monitor calibration

[Bahumat]

I've bought a new monitor and wanted to ensure I have the contrast/brightness/gamma set correctly. Does anyone have a good website for this sort of thing?

Thanks

Google "Spyder 2".

Looks like you have to pay for this?#
Do you have a link if it's free please?

Spyder 4 was recently released and yes they cost money since they include proper hardware to calibrate a monitor. Windows 7 includes a basic calibration function built in, if you type 'Calibrate' into the box the top one should be for calibrating your monitor.

best way to calibrate is to use a colourmeter, personal prefer eye-one, i have the LT still serving me fine. if anyone wana borrow let me know.
