I've been thinking of buying a calibration device for quite some time and today I finally bought a Spyder2express.
I calibrated both my Desktop LCD and my notebook with it and while the notebook screen looks really nice the Desktop LCD looks a little bit too warm for my taste. Also, I see small vertical stripes (looks a little like banding) in the grays of the IE toolbar.
I'm guessing there's a problem with the gamma settings but I don't know what it is. (Yes, I disabled Adobe Gamma).
Any ideas? How can I get the two monitors to match?

I'd like to know how this turns out. After the popularity of LCD monitors I've had very little faith in calibration software.
I still use my favorite method: I have a painting on my wall and a scan of it on my hard drive. By trial and error I get the scan to match the painting on the monitor.

Ok, so I solved the banding problem. I forgot to restart my computer after disabling Adobe Gamma. What can I say besides...I'm an idiot!
The grays are still a little warmer than I'm used to and still a little different than my notebook's display.
