hey... last time i looked into any colour correction nonsense, you had to scan in a test colour photo, print it out, adjust your screen, scan in the print out... and all KINDS of weird crap! (since i STILL dont have a colour printer, they're outta luck!) i adjust my display the way i want it, and i want it so the black of the black screen is just as black as the blank parts off the edge of the screen. (on my last monitor, that was too dark, but this new one has better contrast, apparently.)
