A calibration based on 120 candelas per square meter, gamma of 2.2, and a color temperature of 6500 Kelvin is a pairing between the monitor and an individual video card. That means that you would have to be using exactly the same video card (and driver version) as I am in order for my settings to be even remotely applicable to your combination. Furthermore, monitors behave differently, even if they're of the same model / series. That's why it's important to own a calibration tool, like the Spyder 3 Pro or the X-Rite / Gretag MacBeth Eye One, both of which can be very affordable (around $150 US dollars). And you should make a new calibration every month, as the monitor will change over time. I'm sorry--I know that's not the answer you're looking for!
