Monitor Calibration Tests

[mrwho]

This is very important, because it's hard to see details if your monitor is too dark. I've found some simple tests to help, here's the links.

Gradient testing, from black to white: http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibration/monitor_gradient.htm

Different levels of black and white: http://bryce-alive.net/calibrate/

Color gradient test: http://www.stanstudio.com/calib.html

LCD-specific tests (color, grayscale, gamma, contrast, grayscale, viewing angle): http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/#gradient

Hope these help
