What is the best way for me to see on my monitor what most people are seeing on theirs? When I look at the white to black boxes at the bottom of the page when casting votes I cannot see a line between the last 4-5 black blocks. Is there a way to calibrate it better without having to buy a program?

You can do some eyeball calibration, there are some free visual calibration aids that can help. Try this one and let me know how well it works: Calibrize

Here's a chart that is online Monitor calibration

I think I have another on somewhere that is an image file, but I can't locate it online. I may have it saved on my hard drive somewhere. If I find it, I will get back to you.

Thanks I think that helped. There is no distinct line between the last 2 white blocks now but I can now make out the last 2 black blocks.

Here is a great resource for monitor calibration. It's a bit of reading, but well worth understanding. Norman knows his stuff. The *best* way is hardware calibration, but software calibration can get reasonably close.
