    Hi guys,
    I have Eizo LCD S2243W with 95 % AdobeRGB gamut and Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with FullHD with 95 % NTSC gamut. On my older T60 I used to calibrate laptop LCD S-IPS with Huey PRO. I was told by the EIZO representatives I should not even try to calibrate S2243W with Huey (I've heard almost shock :)) Indeed, when I compared EIZO output to the enclosed calibration test photo, I just tweaked temperature. The output were pretty same. Good. Then I used Huey it on W510 LED backlit, which had really screaming colours (because of that gamut I think). Huey didn't change colors much but generated quite good ICC profile so the colors in color aware apps look good.

    The only problem is that white of W510 look more red while Eizo is having everything more to the yellow. As I said already before, the Eizo output corresponds to the calibration sample photo I have.

    Can I tune the W510 LCD to match the colors to EIZO a little bit more? I understand the Huey is the absolute lowest level of calibration devices. What calibration device should I get to harmonize both outputs?

    Thanks!

    Spyder3 Pro or Elite will do the job.
