Display Calibration

I hooked up my Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 via HDMI to try and calibrate the laptop display. The SyncMaster isn't perfect, but it's pretty good, so I figure it's a pretty good reference.

Anyways I thought I'd share the resulting settings. There's only so much you can do with a less than optimal panel (sigh) but it does make a significant difference over the default settings.

I enjoy photography so it's kind of a big deal to have an accurate display...

 

Tried it, not bad. Contrast doesnt seem natural though. Like look at the Windows logo for the start bar. Looks like itd almost burn out the screen :\

 

definitely going to plug these settings in when I get my M14x this afternoon, thanks for sharing these results

 

I noticed that only moving contrast from 50 (default) to 51 made a large difference, as if activating some kind of enhancement that is disabled at 50. Not exactly ideal, but it seemed better than default to me.

Also, I found that the saturation does NOT adjust all 3 channels of colour evenly. For example, 7 may have a more red colour cast and then 8 will be a little greener. Also a very large flaw. Again, 6 was the number that seemed to work for me. It might vary between laptops though.

I wasn't expecting to adjust the hue but I tried it and it seemed to help the colour.

If you wanna do it yourself, my method is to not look at the sliders at all (I had them on the external monitor while looking at the internal display). Just hold onto it with the mouse, look at the display quality only, and move the slider too far to each side and find the middle point where it looks best.
