monitor calibration

Hello !

I was amazed at seeing how an image I created looked much more brighter on another computer screen. So, I downloaded the colour calibration package as instructed on the Gimp Manual. I followed the instructions carefully, but I'm not sure weather or not I achieved a reasonable result. When adjusting the black level, for instance, the manual says one has ' to turn up the brightness until strip 1 is just visible again." I could not see any strips, but the numbers 1, 2 and 3.
I have an NVidia MMX 400 video card with 64 megabytes and an LG Studioworks 501E monitor. I think the video card is good, but I'm not sure about the monitor quality. Is it a good one in comparison with other brands, like Phillips, for instance ?

Comments, suggestions and tips highly appreciated.

TIA

JM

Hi,
That other computer probably applied some gamma correction to the image. What software was used to display the image? GIMP as well?

Hi, Sven.

No, actually it was displayed on an old computer (233 [?]) running Windows/IE. The image was on a website.

And were both systems calibrated, or just one? Or none?
