Yes, that's funny because the gamma for a Mac suggests 2.5/1.45 which is 
1.72. That's what I tried.

The link suggests a gamma for 2.5 which makes everything white here. I've 
settled for 1.68 which makes tvtime much nicer but I have no clue what's 
going on.

Can't see what I'm playing at random since I've not touched anything yet, 
except raised the gamma a bit?
