I agree, the Nikons Scanner are best in this category.
But the Minolta performed very well as regard to color accuracy.
My mac's Lacie is calibrated using an Eye-one, of course comparation
was made looking at the slide at 5500K.
I used Silverfast, together with it's own calibration Target.
This is one of twelwe images I delivered for a calendar on Ossolan
Churches.

Regarding to opening a window on Your monitor, what Color temperature
is it set to?
Usually a monitor set for printing works at 6500K, and this would not
be good for viewing slides on it.
