I've read this comment quite a few times from various sources on the
internet and I have to disagree at least based on my experience.
After using monitor calibration hardware and software my monochrome display
was much more accurate than when adjusting the monitor by eye.

Again I will say that monitor adjustment using calibration hardware vs.
using the Adobe gamma program was superior with color and monochrome images.
My 2 cents,
