[filmscanners] RE: Monitor calibration offer, kind of OT

["Alex Zabrovsky" <alexz@zoran.co.il>]

Oh well, I understood.
I tried this option as well prior to acquiring the Monaco.
I used Adobe's Gamma and various freeshare software tools - some of then did
provided barely better results, but still way off the optimum.
For precise calibration hardware is paramount indeed.

I'm sure that the Monaco package is fine, and I know from experience that
the Pantone Colorvision package is a good one. By "poor-man's calibration,"
I meant those packages that don't include a colorimeter.
