You could get a monitor alignment probe, but even most graphics houses that do designs that go to air don't have one.

you can adjust monitors by eye using a test pattern. This one is used for broadcast monitors:

The problem is that most monitors don't have a blue channel only viewer.

You have to choose which monitor your are going to use as your "critical viewer" Get that monitor aligned and try to make the other match.

Also, (just to throw more options into the stew) IIRC, Photoshop had a global prefeence setting to adjust the gamma. The gamma adjustment curves the linear curve between the highest white point and the lowest black point.

hope this helps.
