Actually, I never found that test very successful. The reason I believe it's
close to 1 is that over the summer, when I tested my web site on my home
computer (with a regular monitor), the colors were significantly darker than
I had wanted them to be. By gamma correcting the colors, I made them look
right on the computer monitor (although a little washed out on my LCD). The
gamma correction I did assumed that my LCD screen had a gamma of 1, and
worked out just about perfectly.

Other similar experiences also backed it up.
