Calibration for backlit monitor

[ahbian]

Hi all,

Currently using a macbook. My photos usually looked ok on my screen, but underexposed on other computers. I suspect that the backlit monitor partly contributed to this problem.

Did a little search and read that spyder 3 is one option for backlit screens, would like to know if there are there any other software available? Would also appreciate it if prices are included.

Make sure your gamma setting is set to 2.2 not 1.8, you will be set.

Thanks for the advice, its was already set at 2.2 some time back. After much squinting and staring at the apple logo and pushing those sliders.
