My gray scale color chart is a single image designed with the intent that a viewer could enlarge it the same way they do an image for voting, then use the contrast and brightness controls on the monitor to get it as realistic as possible for the monitor. They would know, if the image looks right, that the monitor is reasonable close to the "standard" or if there is a color cast in the gray areas that there is a color cast in the monitor that needs to be corrected. With regard to the gray scale. If the brightness is too low they loose the shadow zones, if it is too high they loose the highlight zones.
Anyone want to try it to see if it works for them? Particularly those who think there are difference between two monitors they have on different systems

Anyway, dmward back to your post. I had thought that it might be a good idea to add a monitor calibration section to this site. DP Review has one so that people can compare camera performance correctly. The same should probably go for here as well to give all photos equal "lighting" foooting. If yours has a similar simple form and some step by step instructions for absolute computer novices I think it would be a good thing.

My monitor at work is way too dark, and the right two shades on the strip look identical to me. I'll have to check it at home on my calibrated monitor. At least we know it catches one problem.

Even if you turn the brightness control all the way to bright? What happens if you move both controls to the highest setting?
There may be other controls on the monitor as well that will affect it.
Good Luck

Ooops – I should have mentioned that it’s deliberately dark. I pulled out the fluorescent lights over my own little piece of cubeville, and I look at code all day long, so I cranked the brightness way down. I just wanted to report that it did catch problems with dark monitors.
BTW, I vote on the photos from home.
