Yeah, the image looks the same to me. You probably go the library a lot with your little kids? I would first look at your website on a computer there and see if it looks the same as at home.

Calibrating a monitor can be done in a basic way, by eye, or one can spend the money for a software/hardware package to do it. It'd be cool to be able to do it the latter way, maybe someday! : )

In any case, for the basic way, there should be buttons on the front of your monitor panel. There should be a menu, that will allow you to select the color temperature (usually either 6500K or 9300K), choose what you like best. Also, there are channels for R G B (red green blue), and you can adjust the levels of these. They should be on the factory default settings (check your monitor manual for the settings).

Then if you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements installed, you can use a program called Adobe Gamma. If you're using windows, it will be in the control panels. Run the program using the wizard, it will guide you step-by-step in calibrating your monitor.
