Martin,
My HD Cinema display is factory set to a Apple display native -
Response Curve of Gamma of 2.2 but the individual Red, Green and Blue
response curves are set to 1.801
When I do a Calibration these are all set-able.

David and Richard,
Does it not also have to do with being able to discern subtleties
of shadow detail on-screen? Uncorrected CRT Gamma (as per Win /
Nix / Television) gives a very non-linear display and tends to
compress the bottom 20% to black.
Images made in systems like this tend not to have any bottom-end
information at all - it typically begins at around 20%, effectively
reducing the dynamic range - not good for print - although possibly
practical for consumer-oriented screen-based media.
Something else I occasionally wonder about though. Are todays LCD
monitors configured to mimic the poor linearity characteristics of
the old CRTs? I would guess they are, so as to be compatible with
existing media. Presumably flat screens don't have the same
inherent physical characteristics as a CRT? I'm interested to know
what's done in that case.
