since with non apple branded monitors the native gamma is said
to be nearer 2.2 than 1.8 the consensus now seems to be to set
it to 2.2. Remember that profile savvy apps will compensate for
the chosen setting so - say Photoshop will display identicallly
on 1.8 and 2.2 [that's the theory].
I choose 6500 because it seems to give a better match to a
print illuminated in a DE50 lightbox.
