I just purchased a Gateway laptop and the screen looks milky and pictures seems to bright. When I view a picture and look at the calibration bar at bottom I can see the difference in each square on the white side but on the black side the last two I can see a difference but only if I really look close. I need advice on how to calibrate my laptops monitor. I donĂ¢€™t want to vote until I know its right and I can tell something is off. My whites seem to have a blue hue. Does anyone have any advice.
Screen type:15" TFT XGA Active Matrix |

My screen on the laptop also lets me see that range of shades - the last two black boxes merging together, that is. I shouls say that was acceptable - at least, I've never had a problem, and I've been using this thing for all my shots for a couple of years now.
Can't help you on the blue thing. Tried any of the calibration software?

If you mean the background squares, they are a neutral gray. They appear this way both on my laptop screen and on my CRT, both of which have had software (but not hardware) based calibration. A quick copy into PS showss they are indeed neutral, that is, the R, G and B values are identical within each square.

Thanks kirbic, I guess my old monitor was not calibrated color wise and that is whay i think something is wrong. A good example of the diffence is Zoomdak's blue ribbon picture below on my old monitor looked a more of a golden brown and on my new monitor it looks lighter and still has the browns but not as dark and golden. Kind of milkish looking and I don't understand.
PS. My spelling is baddddd does anyone have the link to Ispell again. I cant find it in the forum search. Thanks. |
