I need to specifically calibrate the monitor to my programs, printer, or scanner. To do this, I need the Gamma setting. What's the Gamma setting for a 17" Power Computing monitor.

The Power 17" monitor has a gamma value of 2.3.

Gamma settings refer to brightness levels and slight tints. This is useful if you need to calibrate your colors between multiple devices. Monitors have a natural gamma setting, which is why some monitors look a little "greener", "redder", "brighter" or "darker" than others. For most practical purposes, a value between 1.4 and 1.6 will be adequate.
