Yep, I posted a thread about monitor calibration using this illusion.

If you're into image processing, this illusion shows how you can't fully depend on adjusting the levels using just sight alone and say Adobe gamma.
There are too many outside variables that can skew the result.

The best way to calibrate a monitor is to use dedicated calibration hardware like the Spyder Pro, Huey, EyeOne or ColorMunki.

It's an amazing illusion though, I couldn't believe it either at first until I checked the grey values in Photoshop.
