Monitor calibration

I've never calibrated my monitors. Are there any very simple quick and easy (free) ways to do this? e.g. software or something?

Thanks,

Jon

I have used ColorVision Spyder Series (I used Spyder 2 Express, now upraded to Pro)

Used to calibrate my lcd tv and monitors...its a great purchase and didnt cost me too much

I'm looking for a free way to do this.

Keep printing and adjusting a photo until the paper match the screen ?

Edit: This will end up in the Monitor forum and you will get some more answers.

This site seems to have good tools to visually calibrate your monitor.

Although it never be same comparing to actual calibration devices, you still be able to get your monitor adjusted more less.
