I recently calibrated my monitor with Colormunki, which is an awesome tool, by the way. For the first time my prints look like they do on my monitor. Now the monitor is about half as bright and contrasty as it was, which makes it great for editing photos, but not so great for watching colorful videos with my children. Does anyone know if there is a way (via software, not the monitor itself) to save the current settings for photos, but be able to change settings for videos, and vice-versa? Maybe some kind of icon that sits in the tray that pops up and allows different saved monitor settings? I have an HP w2408h monitor.

john, this will be done via your video card most likely. Nvidia certainly has preset options for more colorful and contrasty look.
