Calibrating????

[F8&Bthere]

I'm not sure how much control you need, but I bought a Huey off eBay for $75 and I use it on my Dell Ultrasharp 2009WA eIPS monitor and I just let it run a calibration without needing to do any tweaks really and I've been happy with the results. I know it's not the best that's out there, but I did notice an improvement over the uncalibrated monitor. I was like you I guess, not wanting to spend $200+ on a calibrator...at least not at this point.

I seem to be learning the hard way here ... it's like buying a tripod: you can spend 50 buicks four times, because the damn thing won't work or will break, or you can spend the 500 bucks and buy the one that will do everything you need it to do and not break down. So I am going to spend some money on this thing, but not go crazy either....
