I have not read the posts right through but recently I bought a new monitor (a Samsung) which was way too bright at default setting but otherwise looked great. However I shot a couple of pictures for a friends Golden Wedding to put in an album and when I printed them there was a strong colour cast. Nightmare so I bought a Spyder 3 Elite which also monitors background light. The difference is striking and a test print of a grey subject came out absolutely spot on for both colour and brightness on my Canon IP 6700D printer using Canon paper to reduce variables. Bliss and relief. Hope that helps. Windows XP by the way.
