+ CRT monitors have native gamma around 2.4 - 2.5 and LCD monitors
+ usually emulate the same value.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Traditionally, Linux and MS Windows operating systems use image encoding
+ of 1/2.2 and do not apply any gamma adjustment to the image or video
+ card LUT. Therefore the overall gamma is expected to be around 1.1
+ (which is useful to allow for dim viewing conditions at home
+ environment).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Apple used to use image encoding gamma close to 1/1.8 to naturally match
+ the native gamma of printing devices (and therefore internally applied
+ gamma adjustment of 1/1.45 before displaying images on monitor so that
+ the images displayed correctly).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Nonetheless, since OS X (v10.6 Snow Leopard) the default image encoding
+ gamma has also the value of 1/2.2 to meet the requirements of consumer
+ imaging industry.
+ </para>

+ Before fine tuning the gamma in GCM, you should know what your monitor
+ native gamma is, what display gamma you want to reach and then do the
+ math yourself.
