Page 8 of the following NVidia whitepaper describe the method that would be
used (except that the lookup table would not be stored in a texture, it would
be stored in a vtkLookupTable with 4095 entries.).  This method requires that
your monitor internally converts the RGB DVI signal to a greyscale signal, like
the monitors described in the NVidia whitepaper.
