Well, I guess I am pretty close, considering I have not calibrated this
thing in a couple of months. Some very faint color in the dark set. So I
am close to but not exactly at 2.2.
BTW, Martin Fielding, the author of Adobe Photoshop PS2 for
Photographers, says that the only reason Apple uses 1.8 is because the
b&w monitor in the original Mac was only barely able to get that high.
He says he uses 2.2 with his Mac's and recommends it. Says that 1.8 is
obsolete. Of course that goes directly against what the guy says on the
site you gave a link to. Just goes to show that opinions abound, I
guess; just like people who think their own opinion is "TRUTH" incarnate

I think I've got the gamma just about right on it, though the colors
are probably off quite a bit.
The best visual gamma test I've seen provides gamma test patches at three grey
points, if these look good on screen then your screen cal is right in the ball-
park. My system is calibrated for G2.2, when I open up the 2.2 patch set they
all look gray, I'm happy. I also use the mid gray patch as my desk-top
background (tiled) then I can see at a glance when my monitor has properly
warmed up.
