Luckily, Apple has finally come to their senses and will be joining the rest of the technology world by setting gamma 2.2 as the default in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Their official reason for the change is to “better meet the needs of digital content producers and consumers,” according to early 10.6 seed notes. Making the switch to 2.2 will make a Mac’s display a tad darker with a pinch more contrast — a good move in my book.
Gamma affects the visual contrast you see on your screen, and a higher value indicates a higher level of contrast. The cost of this higher contrast is that you lose some detail on the less luminous parts of your screen.
