Any reason why you don't do a manual calibration for your needs? I had to do this with my Dell 2405FPW to have it match a more "average" colour model. Simply going with a 2.2 gamma over the Mac default of 1.8 can be enough in many cases.

I have a new Macbook Pro with a new Dell 2407WFP-HC monitor. Dell of course does not support MAC nor do they make drivers for MACs. I haven't calibrated the monitor yet, but plan on doing so using Spyder2. The picture quality is great, however, it has a very distinct softness to it especially compared to my Macbook Pro picture and the when I use the monitor with a PC. Does anyone else have this problem or have any solutions? Thanks.
