Gamma difference Windows & Mac

This is probably common knowledge, but I always wondered why images always looked darker on a PC than on my Mac. I used to attribute it to the monitors, now I know better.

Windows systems use a higher gamma value (usually 2.2) than Mac OS systems (usually 1.8), with the result that the same image is noticeably darker on a Windows system than on a Mac OS system.

And there you have it.

If you go to control panel in Windows XP, and go to Adobe Gamma you can adjust the settings of this. There are ever presets to adjust it to that of a Mac (1.80).
