The best is to adjust the gamma within the Xfree software. There is an application called kgamma and a plugin for gkrellm to do such an adjustement. You can alsao use lprof to create a profile for your monitor. lprof allows you to have a separate gamma for each of the RGB channels. Then you can use this profile with the 'color proof' filter within the Gimp. > > Is there a monitor at a reasonable cost, a few hundreds of > dollars, that allows for adjustment of gamma?
