Hi Could someone tell me the best way to set up or calibrate my PC at home to my mac at work as there always seams to have a difference in colour and also brightness and contrast even though I have calibrated them both, using an Eye One. The only difference I have notice when calibrating is my Mac works with a Gamma of 1.8 vs the PC at 2.2. Should I set my PC at home at 1.8 as well.
The gamma is the difference. If you set your PC to have the same gamma as the Mac, it should look the same.
Do it the other way around.
The Mac's gamma is the screwy one. sRGB is near 2.2 as is Adobe(RGB)1998.
Gamma 2.2 gives you a data bias towards shadows - which is where you need it most.
Apple should use Tiger as an opportunity to kill this issue - but I bet they don't...
