Calibrating Monitor?

[NaOH]

What process do you guys usually use to calibrate your screens so that when you edit photos on different computers (desktop and laptop) so that they are pretty close to each other?

it's a painstaking process.. because other people are not calibrated, so it'll STILL look wrong. Best I can hope for is to calibrate for certain printers I use, as the good places usually provide you w/ color profiles.

But even then, color profiling has been something difficult for me to completely grasp. I use a Spyder3 on my end though.

Oh, I meant just so that my own pictures stay pretty consistent while being edited on different computers. I guess as along as you calibrate them the same method it should be fine.

I use a NEC calibrated I1 display 2 to calibrate the built in 10bit LUT of my NEC P221W. Works very well and my results are consistent every time. Before that I used coloreyes display pro with a spyder2 sensor. The results were fairly consistent but I later learned that a Spyder2 isn't made to measure wide gamut monitors.

You can do a gamma curve fairly well manually...but the color gamut can only truly be measured by a sensor.

Spyder2, but not with lousy included software. I use HCFR to get the black level and color temp and range set close. In other words, I manually do it.
