how do you profile your cameras' lcd?

I simply snap a jpeg, (of a greycard with greyscale and color chart)import it into my computer, display it full screen on my already profiled monitor, and adjust my brightness in the tool set up menu to match as closely as possible.

then I shoot the same image in raw and process it to my standards...(I like my images atouch on the warm side) display it on my monitor.
now I go back to my camera and tweek the settings under the rec mode to get the in camera jpegs, on the cameras lcd to match as closely as possible to the computer processed raw file.

that way my in camera lcd display will closely match what I'll see on my computer when I get them downloaded and processed. (I shoot alot of jpeg, and raw accounts for maybe 10-20 % right now but doing more raw every month.)

of course out in the feild ambient light renders this to less than an exact science....but it does seem to work for the most part.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.
