Figuring out the correct gamma?

[Dave Yeo]

I've just swapped my CRT monitor for an LCD one and it looked terrible.
I started playing around in Snaps gactrl program adjusting the gamma and
currently am at 0.5 which is close to what I'm used to.
Is there a good method of figuring out the correct gamma besides trial
and error?

Hi Dave,

Did you check the manual for your monitor because most new monitors
have several preconfigured colour temperature settings. I would try
those before doing much with the gamma correction in Snap driver.

I haven't used it myself, primarily because I don't do any photo-realistic
work, so I'm content to use whatever looks good to my eye. If you find
that is gives decent results, let readers know.

In princeable it should work. Unluckily it seems that my new monitor is
broken, both in hardware and the builtin software. Left button makes
noise and hardly works and it doesn't seem to respond to changing
brightness, contrast or any of the colours.
Now the fun of repacking it :)

ps funny, my original post never did turn up here even on the same

See other post, I've came to the conclusion the monitor itself is broken
in the builtin sofware.

Doing a repair folder in SeaMonkey allowed my original and Ivan's posts
