I learned quite a few things from it I wasn't aware of before. Thank you for writing the tutorial, Yves, must have been a lot of work. I learned quite a few things from it I wasn't aware of before.

What you need to do is use those gamma setup applications along with the help of a gamma chart and adjust the gamma slider so the gamma chart shows a gamma of 2.2. Use the procedure and gamma charts provided by Norman Coren. I give the web address in my tutorial. Also, different gamma setting applications interpret the gamma value differently. Some means the gamma correction applied on the monitor and your's is probably in that category, and other applications mean the required correction to correctly display an image with the gamma correction corresponding to the value selected. If your monitor have never been calibrated and your gamma seting indicates 1.0, then chances are that your monitor is curently set with its natural gamma which is around 2.4 - 2.5.

I stopped checking, I would sent it back... ;) btw, the best picture is (still) the upper, the lower looks pale, is cranked up that much, the detail is the highlight is completely gone… I stopped checking, I would sent it back… ;)
