Monitor calibration

[opethdisciple]

How do you guys calibrate your monitors with out calibration hardware?

Iv had a look on line at some of the free ones, but can any one recommend one that they have actually had success with?

Iv always been lucky with monitors, I keept the ones that looked good by default.

I bought a new monitor which arrived yesterday which is a Benq 2420hd.

Its good for a cheap monitor. Only issue is it was way to bright out the box, so I have started fiddling with the contrast and brightness, and now am stuck in permanent tinkering mode.

I took a look at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ yesterday, but found it too complicated.

*Edit

Im due to upgrade my second computer to windows 7 which hasnt arrived yet, and have just found out that windows 7 has an inbuilt monitor calibration wizard.

Worth a shoot.
