Q. Does anyone know a really god place or downloadable software i can use to calibrate this new alienware 1080p native resolution monitor?
A. You really need hardware to properly calibrate a monitor. Something like Spyder:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/ColorVision-S3X100-Spyder3Express-PC-MAC/dp/B002OCF57K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1294076210&sr=8-2
or Pantone Huey:

They'd have you think that recalibration is necessary frequently, but for all but the most demanding uses (e.g. professional photography, in which case you need to consider your room environment and ambient lighting too), you probably just need a profile (.icm or .icc file). You could just borrow such a device if you can find someone who has one.
Having said that, Widows 7 does have some built-in calibration capabilities: see Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Display, Calibrate color.
Windows (all versions) comes with a variety of colour profiles, one of which may well improve your monitor display. Some LCD monitors have very strong saturation. Profiles are in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color and WideGamutRGB.icc may be helpful for you.
See "To enable or disable calibration loading by Windows" in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-color-management-settings for how to apply colour profiles and calibrate colour in general.

Monitor for Photography Viewsonic VP2650wb?
Q. I've been researching through high end professional color monitors for photography and this is my first time in this class. The question is: has anybody bought one of these and what are the results?
If not good can you give me other model and brand

A. CRT monitors are still the choice for accurate calibration of image files. There are a few LCD's that have a sRGB mode that can be used with some level of success if you are providing images for prints or posting on the Internet.
There is yet to be an LCD monitor that is calibrated for Adobe RGB for those who shoot for publications.

You will also find that a calibration device like the EyeOne2 or Spyder will be important if you want to make changes in image file contrast or colour accurately
