Anyone ever use 2.2 gamma in Leopard?

Since SL switched the default gamma to 2.2 from the traditional 1.8, I made display profiles for both my displays with a 2.2 gamma to try it out in Leopard. It's so much easier on the eyes for me. Anyone else get the same impression?

I've never used the 1.8 Gamma since my first mac (PowerBook). Ever since then its been a calibrated 2.2 profile. I can't stand 1.8 it just hurts my eyes.

Its just 'clicked' with me why my website looks darker on my 10.6 MBP than my work 10.5 MP.

I knew the gamma was changed but it never clicked in my head. Someone should make an app for it!

There's an app for that!

Thanks, glad to know I'm not the only one who dislikes a 1.8 gamma.

I like the new calibration, but it causes problems when I'm playing a game in windowed mode.

It's WAY darker than 1.8, and I can barely see.

I came over from PCs 1.5 years ago, where I was used to a 2.2 gamma, and since I use Photoshop a lot, everyone recommended staying with 2.2 on the Mac because it makes images look (a LOT!) better.

That 1.8 gamma really lacks contrast and is overly bright....I can't stand the way it looks.

One of the first things I'd do when I reinstalled OS X was change the gamma to 2.2.
