With Win XP, the colour profile generated with the spyder can be assigned to the Display Properties / Colour Management. The change in display is immediate for all applications that can now show correctly images created in sRGB colour space. Of course only colour management enabled applications are capable to display for instance AdobeRGB/ images or to do print preview.

LCD pixels are too sharp and well separated to obtain true gray; neither can be each channel profiled individually with accuracy. Servus, Alin
