I am trying to calibrate a HP LP2475W & Samsung 226CW with a Spyder 3 Pro and I have been having lots of problems.

The Samsung 226CW I can't get anywhere near the HP, the colors are off completely, dark green looks like grey.

The HP, I can get what I think is good color, but when I try to get the luminance down to around 90-120 whites look grey and look like I am looking through a grey net cloth.

I had the brightness down to 10 when doing it without RGB sliders to get about 10 luminance, but when I used rgb sliders i was at brightness 35 or so.  Either way, whites do not look white and everything appears drab.
