Macs used 1.8 for years, then finally in OSX 10.6 they came to their senses and defaulted to 2.2
In OSX 10.5 gamma 2.2 was recommended, yet 1.8 was default 
When using colormanaged software, the difference should not be visible, but use 2.2 anyhow.

I'm about to pull the trigger here and don't want to buy it if it doesn't actually work. www.stillconcept.com

I highly recommend the software.) Chas P

I ask because I had similar problems calibrating my iMac with the Spyder3Pro until I changed the settings around. I ended up setting the Spyder software for an LCD display, native gamma, and native white point (ambient light is set to Off). Also, before I started the calibration process, I set the color profile to default ("iMac" in my case; System Prefs -> Displays -> Color) and set the brightness to about in the middle. After calibrating with these settings, the color comes out much better. thanks for the reply.
