my apologies, this is incorrect as most of you probably know. When calibrating the user of 
course has a target gamma choice, generally 1.8 or 2.2 with sometimes more choices as 
well.
But that difference will only be visually apparent with apps that are not icc aware. With 
apps that are, those differences will disappear as the monitor profile is in the loop and the 
gamma differences "corrected".
