If one is constantly getting blown highlights it is simple to set the 
exposure compensation to -0.5 stops or so permanently and not worry anymore.

On the Internet, where many monitors are not well calibrated, often what 
appears to be blown highlights on the screen is simply the monitor whitepoint 
(adjusted with the contrast control) set too high. When you adjust your monitor 
with Adobe Gamma for instance they tell you to set contrast at 100%, but better 
seems to be about 95% then you do not get those false blown highlights on the 
screen.

Hmmm. Thanks graywolf. I got a spyder on sale cheap. Haven't tried it yet. Up 
until now used Adobe Game. Interesting.
