GEEK SPEAK....Got an Apple 30", lots of real estate here! Don't know how I lived without it. Running both monitors from a G5 with the original GeForce 6600 LE graphics card. Calibrating both monitors with an eye one display for good color, gamma, luminance etc.
Seen here with my 24" monitor on the left with the 'eye one' calibration device.
Setting luminance is tricky and very important. 120 is recommended but I'm running at 90 and I think that may be a little too bright. Its about matching what's on the monitor to what comes out of the printer. I've got both monitors looking pretty good after calibrating a few times. 6500k, 2.2 gamma, luminance 90. The eye one calibrates color very very well. If you decide to calibrate w/an 'eye one display', make sure you download the latest 'eye one match 3' software from xrite.
Here's a tip: get a refurbished display and save a bundle but be sure to buy the applecare warranty. It gives you 3 full yrs. In fact, I'd get the apple care if I had purchased a brand new monitor.
