Thanks, Andrew.
Actually I new IE on Windows is not color managed.
To my surprise I found a perfect solution to my LCD calibration problems. Thanks God and this forum!!!!
As Karl Lang recommended, I decided to disable all advanced settings on my SHARP LL-T1820 LCD back to default and using GretagMachbeth eye one display to calibrate my 10-bit gamma LCD in simple “Laptop Mode” using manufacturers provided profile as target settings. (Gamma, Color Temp, Luminosity are factory set)
This came out as shock to me… I’ve got a perfect match in neutral grey on my LCD to my ColorChecker GM Card.
And if I compare grey in IE Explorer and in Adobe PS CS2 – they both identical!!!!!

2nd LCD surprise I’ve got the same day.
I have to SHARP LCDs side by side. One connected through DVI another through SVGA port (output from my ATI card)
That one which is SVGA connected easily pass Michael Reichmann’s Gamma monitor test.
(Square selection on the black background. Modify level of selection with 1 step increment).
Now I can clearly distinguish 0,0,0 between 1,1,1 colors and on the pure white side almost perfect 255,255,255 vs 253,253,253 is also distinguishable. Amazing for LCD screen!
On DVI connected monitor 0,0,0 and 7,7,7 is the same...
Looks like SVGA is better for a smooth color transition then DVI.
