This is a low costs display (under $200). I'm not trying to be a snob here, 
its just that the type of screen used in this grade of display is not the same 
as that used in Graphics grade displays (several hundred buck range) or 
Advanced Graphic displays (thousands). It should be calibratable, but keep these 
limitations in mind, if you are expecting the last gasp of control or accuracy...

Thats a start, and if you are using Spyder3PRO, thats all the choices you 
will have, other than invoking the ambient light feature, which could help 
produce settings with better shadow detail. If you are using Elite, then I'd suggest 
trying some of the advanced settings, such as L-Star calibration. Let us know 
your results.
