Let me first say I don't want to start a new discussion between 
two nonconverging opinions, because that's NOT what I wanted.

On the contrary, I want to understand why I can't get my three
monitors do what Warp and clipka are suggesting: 
In principle I should configure  those monitors in such a way that
the right striped side intensity correspond somewhere in the middle 
of the right (3.7) strip. I can tell you that's impossible. There is no 
way I can reach that. 

Ive did send me to

http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/Gamma.htm

to tune my monitors. You get three bloks with colored squares 
inside other colored squares and a gray square for three light 
intensities. 
I've slide my sliders for red, green and blue for hours, but I couldn't 
get it right. The result was awfull, the monitor was totally wrong
in color and brightness.
At last I took a fotograph of my daughters wedding and used this
to get the colors right. This fotograph has a lot of colors that I
have in my head to compare with (green from three days fresh leaves,
sandwashed wood of a bridge over a pond and so on). After I made 
this the way I remember those colors I went back to this site.
Well, now it was exactly as it should be. What I couldn't do first,
I did in a quarter of an hour with this fotograph. 
Further I learned that the monitors are not exactly gamma 2.2, but 
about 1.8-2.0  for the dark intensities, about 2.0 around the middle
intensities and around 2.0-2.2 for the high intensities. Maybe this is 
the difference between gamma 2.2 and srgb correction.
I'm planning to make a tutorial for it and put it in p.b.tutorials. It will
take about fifteen minutes to tune your monitor.

I missed that one :). Guess it's because Christmas is coming.
