I was experimenting earlier on today with taking pictures of my monitor, and I was quite amazed at the resulting pictures. I doubt it would work, but is it possible to use pictures like that to help calibrate a monitor? (E.g. fill the screen with pure red and adjust the settings to make the photo as red as possible.)

you wouldn't want to use that as a method for monitor calibration. Your results would depend entirely on how your camera white balance was set. Not to mention that the lens used can have an effect on the color rendition (e.g. some Sigma lenses render a "warmer" image).

Ah well, it was a long shot. Still fun, though.

Actually I was trying to do the same with a bit of success. At least now my prints look eaxctly like screen image. I have a good LCD monitor and white balance is not a problem - I use the white full-screen image to calibrate white. The only problem is that colors on the screen have some whiteness - because of the ambient reflection. Thus I got best results making screen shots in complete darkness and even then there is noticeable whiteness because of the emmitted light reflected back on the screen from walls etc.
All color management gurus will beat my brains out for this but perceptually I get decent results ;-)))
