    Pics? It could be due to the calibration of the screen under OS X.

    System Preferences -> Displays -> Color tab -> calibrate button

    Follow the instructions and you should blow your socks off. This can also be done with the nVidia control panel on the system tray in windows. It can and will look awesome in both Operating systems.
