What's the easiest way to make the monitor colors and contrast as close to real photo values as possible?

Question

I am a photographer, fairly new to the whole digital world. I just bought a new computer, but it looks so different from my old computer and from my camera display. I don't want to do a bunch of photo work, only to find out it looks terrible on everyone else's computer.

Answer 1

There are several different softwares out there designed for you to set your color, etc.  

Answer 2

Well, you can't fix everyone else's display, but you can fix your own with a calibrator.  Too many to list.  Search on Adorama.

Answer 3

The best and only way to make sure the colors on your computer are accurate is to calibrate your monitor. There are many calibration programs available. Here is a link to some different software used to calibrate monitors.
