Calibrate your monitors for consistent tone and color with web site Screen Check. The site displays two bars, one white-to-black for adjusting tone and the other covers the red/green/blue spectrum for adjusting color.

My Dell comes with a very similar built-in calibration tool, but if your monitor doesn’t, Screen Check is worth a look.
