is monitor calibrator a software tool? may i know where to download so i can test if it works for my u231hh.
thanks!
Monitor calibrator is a calibration software with colorimeter used to measure monitor's output and correct any flaw thru monitor's control and graphic card LUT. this is an example of monitor calibrator--
Eye One aka i1 Display 2.
if you not willing to spend that amount of money, try this
Monitor calibration and gamma by Norman Koren. you will have to use your eyes to judge, human eyes are easily fool though. if you spend one hour reading under incandescent bulb, you would think the white paper is white; likewise for fluorescent lamp.

How about this?
http://techcentral.my/gadgetsandapps/revie...Gadgets_ReviewsSeems like it has good colour accuracy,plus it's LED backlit.Not too familiar with monitors these days but another consideration would be the Dell U2311H which is an IPS panel,pretty good from what i hear

Or want to follow uncle ian,buy iMac straight away

How the reviewer came out with the "accurate color" conclusion is not known to the reader. a TN monitor has accurate color out-of-the-box? possible but very unlikely, actually none from the many reviews I read, eg.
PRAD. OTOH, U2311H is proven to have one of the best out-of-the-box color accuracy:
TFT CentralFlatpanelsHD.
if you think iMac is good for image editing, google for iMac calibration, like
this.
