I use the standard types of b&w and color graphics for calibration, similar
to those Acer has so helpfully put up on his website. Look about 1/4-way
down the page:

You *can* go to a lot more trouble in monitor calibration, but these few
simple graphics will get you 90% there. Add a couple that are specifically
designed to tweak gamma and you're 95% there. To go any farther requires
some expensive doodads.
I keep my PC set to around gamma 2.0, a fair compromise between the Mac
standard of 1.8 and PC "standard" of 2.2.
Keep in mind that individual preferences for monitor brightness and contrast
vary tremendously, and folks who don't much care about viewing images
"correctly" but are more into gaming, easy viewing of text and web pages,
etc., will tend to crank the knobs up to 11.

I have just been revisiting the TOPE3 gallery on somebody else's
workstation at the office and noticed the brightness & contrast was way off
compared to my workstation & laptop. Without going to extremes of
calibration, are there any "standard" images which can be used to set up a
PC monitor so it looks half reasonable ?
