so where do i start
ok start from the beginning , iwas always a big big fan of crt displays ,because they displayed a more perfect picture in the past ,then i went Mac and got of course a eMac because of the crt, and some iMac G3's for the same reasons because i always remeber lcd displays as a bit washed out colors , and my intel iMac the first computer with a lcd display (from 2006) and i have noticed the same colors seem a bit washed and its hard to distinguish between a dark blue and a black or dark grey , i tried calibration month on end , at one point i guess i had abut 50 different settings , but at the end only one" i could live with" watching a movie on , but far from perfect
now for work reasons i had to install windows via bootcamp , and yesterday my jaw dropped when watching a movie on windows , because i was to lazy to reboot , after i realized that it is not because its a different OS that makes me feel the pictures are are more vibrant, sharper ,clearer, they are indeed ,
WOW the colors are finally as good as they are on my eMac's , finally i can watch a movie on the iMac and can really see whats happening in the dark spots of a movie and its a real joy , so now i know why people want lcd's ..

so how do i get the calibration settings from windows over to OSX to get the same vibrant clear colors and pictures in OSX too
