I just saw this elsewhere, and I am very happy with the results.
I've known that I needed to calibrate my monitor, but I haven't wanted to buy a SpyderPro or the like. This site explains the process and gives you some software that will do it without the calibration hardware.

I downloaded the QuickGamma program, and after just a little reading of the Help file I got very good results. After I set the color temperature of my monitor to 6500K, instead of the 9300K it had been set on, I made a few adjustments in the QuickGamma program. I tried the seperate color settings, and that gave me the best results by working with one color at a time.
Wow! Pictures look MUCH better on my monitor now. I hope this will help me in post processing as well. I'm sure it will.
I plan to try the Adobe Gamma method on my laptop that has Photoshop.
I thought I'd pass this on to you guys. Most of you have probably already done this, but if anyone else hasn't, maybe it'll help.
