Gamma 1.8 vs. 2.2
I have an Apple Cinema Display 23\” (Aluminum) that is about 4-5 years old and I am using it with my brand new 12-core station fitted with a Dreamcolor & Blackmagic setup for grading and color critical work.
I was just looking at the Display calibrator assistant settings in system preferences after remembering that I had QT Pro preferences for Final Cut compatibility checked – I am curious what it is supposed to be set to on both QT prefernces and the Display calibrator assistant – i.e. should they both be 1.8?
My second question: I am considering buying a 2nd matching monitor from Craigslist ($400 seems to be the going rate) but now that I research a little bit more it seems there might be some better options for my dual computer monitoring.
The November and Dec. issues of Post Magazine reviewed the NEC_models as a good option and I was comparing the specs but thought I would get some pro advice. The biggest difference I notice is the 1000:1 vs. apple\’s 700:1 contrast ratio and the response time. What should I really care about here?

https://www.postmagazine.com/Publications/Post-Magazine/2010/December-1-2010...Any thoughts on this exhausted topic would be of great help…i dont like the Samsung\’s I saw in the store too much, but I do want to stay around the 300-$500 range per monitor. Overall when I ask editors who have some of these newer 24\” NEC\’s in there offices how they compare to the older Apple 23\” they say that while not as bright / saturated is just easier on the eyes with the older apple 23\” aluminum and better in terms of long days staring at a monitor.
any help or advice would be great as I just want to finish my studio build and move on.
cheers
