Hey,
I have an issue here with my display that I have no idea how to correct. The cats jumped on my keyboard and now my display is messed up. Looks like the gamma is turned on or something.

How do I correct this ?

Cats are pesky things, mine keeps closing the lid on my MBP when I have it connected to my TV watching something, making it go to sleep and stopping the video grrr lol.

To try and correct this though, go to System Preferences > Displays > Color > Calibrate...

This will take you through the steps necessary to try and calibrate your display including the Gamma settings.

Hope this helps
