[argyllcms] Re: Gamma measurement discrepancy.

Hello,

I'm a beginner trying to set up an LCD monitor (Samsung 245T) using Argyll and a Spyder 2, on Linux. I'm puzzled by the difference between the gamma value reported after calibration by dispcal -r, and the gamma values measured using various online squinty test patterns. I wonder if anyone can explain the differences that I'm seeing, and perhaps tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
I got similar behavior with my LCD monitor (NEC 20WGX) using a different calibrator (forget the model). In fact, I found the results from the squinty tests so confusing it was one of the things that made me want to do real calibration. I'd trust the real calibration over the tests, since the tests are a very crude tool. You're not a man with two clocks until you get a second colorimeter.
