In Adobe Gamma I am trying to calibrate 2 Gateway FPD 1830 LCDs. The documentation that Gateway supplied has no useful information regarding the questions Adobe Gamma asks for. I was stumped right away at the ‘phosphors’ choices: do LCDs even use phosphors? Then it goes on to ask for a white point.My whitepoint is adjustable on the LCDs. Is the setting the same if I use digital input or analog input? What choices should i enter in the box? Does anyone have a cheat sheet for this?

No and Adobe Gamma isn’t designed for TFT panels. The only thing you can use Adobe Gamma to, when you’re using a TFT panel, is to load the canned profile for the panel into Adobe Gamma and leave the rest of the settings in there alone.

Don’t use adobe gamma for lcd displays. For pretty good calibration you need to buy a colorimeter or spectrophotometer with software system. Some of the better known are Greytag, Monaco, or Spyder. Prices range from a couple hundred to a lot more. There is a German company (www.quato.de) that has new very accurate lcds with built in calibration.
