Hello Graeme,

I still have no idea how to calibrate monitor properly. Please look
here:

it's clearly visible that actual output from my monitor (at 50% input)
is a little bit darker than actual target. It should be corrected at
LUT level by slight brightening at 50% input what perfectly
corresponds to my visual observations. Unfortunately after calibration
I have curves like this:

so my question is - why is it happen and how to avoid it?
