Precision M6400 screen color as blue push/tint

I went through Adobe Gamma, Monitor Calibration Wizard, and Lagom Testpage. The first two did not give me good results. Lagom Testpage did give me decent color correction, but it is still off. My color settings are changed to the following:

Channel: Red
Brightness: 45%
Contrast: 50%
Gamma: 38%

Channel: Green
Brightness: 50%
Contrast: 50%
Gamma: 24%

Channel: Blue
Brightness: 52%
Contrast: 40%
Gamma: 16%

I am still not fully satisfied. I wish there is a adjustment for saturation. I read that digital vibrance does that, but it is already set at the lowest level.

 

Thanks... I will give these a try tomorrow, laptop still at the office.

What I cannot figure out is why did Dell pro support or one of two techs they sent out try adjusting this color setting? I looked all over those settings and never realized there was a way to adjust individual colors... I slap missed it. Duh, duh, duh me.

 

Yeah.. I would have assumed they calibrated their monitor before shipping them (they even offer hardware calibration accessories - Datacolor Spyder3 - along with the M6400)

 

Welp... I tried those and adjusted them all kinds of combinations, but I could never get it very close to my desktop.

Is that Spyder3 hard to use? Maybe I should buy it and calibrate my desktop and laptop to see if I can get them to match up.

Two more issues I am seeing:

1. The lower half of the screen is brighter than the upper half when I look at it straight on. In order to get it to even out, I have to actually look down at it from an angle.

2. When looking at the IE7 or FF3 top section across the top, when using the Silver color scheme in XP, the silver is actually tannish looking on the left and blends towards silver as it moves to the right. If using the default Blue color scheme, it blends from light tan to dark tan. It's as if the left side is lighter.

Even if I get the color equalized... this screen is still messed up.

I am about ready to give up on Dell.

 

Is your desktop monitor wide-gamut monitor?

Spyder is very easy to use. But you have to know what to do with those *.icm profiles it creates.

 

I am not sure... it is a Samsung SyncMaster 920WM

 

I'm having the same issue with the bluish tint on my M6400 that has a WUXGA (CCFL) LG screen.

I'd like to know if there is another display available for this machine that doesn't have the same issue, maybe something besides an LG panel? At this point I'd even consider downgrading to a WXGA+ CCFL if that would solve the issue.

 

Here is my E2E-RGB-LED monitor profil. Improved the image alot for me! Before I got the spyder 3 tool I adjusted the colors in the NVidia control panel, but the spyder tool is much better!

E2E-RGB-icm-Profil

 

Dell has supposed to have sent me something other than the LG screen on 3 different occasions, but every time it has been the LG. Samsung was making one for them on this unit, but they are no longer and have none left in stock. AG (whoever that is) is supposed to be their other supplier, but apparently they are out of stock on it as well.

After sending the Dell service tech two LG screens back to back, I decided it was time to forget it. But they have not issued a call tag for it yet.

How do you load the icm profil?

 

AG = Anti clare --> a matte screen.

For the icm profil:
control panel --> color control (or something like that)
"add" --> choose the E2E Profil --> set as standard
--> advanced --> system profil --> E2E Profil.
