I’ve tried calibrating under Snow Leopard using MonacoOptix Pro, and my screen looks washed out and light. I’ve tried calibrating to gamma 1.8 and tried calibrating to 2.2 – looks the same. Before Snow Leopard, I’d always calibrate my monitor to 2.2 and did not have this “washed out” screen issue before.

That’s right so far, BUT…
for users who calibrate their monitor by hardware solutions (e.g. spyder express 2) then it is vice versa: The screen becomes lighter with less contrast under Snow Leopard. And that is something that I don’t like…

Thanks for the tip! I never realized I could do that on my Mac! This is going to help me a lot when I web design and when I upgrade to Snow Leopard!
