Do you have an Nvidia card? It's actually got a built-in one that I found to be easier than any 3rd party stuff.
There is a little app called WIZIWYG that is a software only calibrator.
After installing and playing with the settings a little bit, all of my displays look hugely better then before. The only thing I dont know is how well the colour profiles translate for printing etc, but if you dont care about that deffinately download it and give it a go - its free too

I want to follow up on this thread.
I've ordered a really nice LCD and would like it to be color accurate. I'm not a professional graphics artist, photographer, or anything along those lines, but I would like movies and whatnot to look really good.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a calibration tool under $100. I was looking into the Spyder 2 and whatnot, but those are closer to $300, which doesnt seem worth it to me.
