Well that's the point, if one feels the things he
sees on TV are too dark, he should have his
personal taste give priority and change gamma.
In my case with the CRT monitor that didn't help
anymore, no matter how high I put gamma, the
shadows remained black. So I thought something
was wrong with the images! I processed a lot of
photos in Photoshop in that period and after
using a new monitor I had to reprocess them all
because I made them much too bright! lol!
TV screens and monitors for work are two
different things though, you can set your TV
screen the way you like it but when you use it
for color correction, it should be calibrated to standards.
And also Uwe, there is a discussion on the web
about calibrating Apple monitors, they calibrated
10 different ones using the same Spider but
afterwards they all looked different :-)
So it's complicated. Also, look at a photo on a
website with back background and then the same
photo with white background. You will think that
the photo with black background is much brighter,
but it isn't. So everything is relative as well.
In a pro color grading room everything is grey.
