    Ive been trying to sort the color out on my 1720 so its perfect all round

    ive just come across this in this tweaking guide (scroll to the bottom of the page)

    Color Management

    This section lists the 'color profiles' your monitor uses to determine how to display colors correctly. Correct color display in this sense means showing colors on the screen precisely as they were intended to be displayed by the developers of the software. In Vista you can click the 'Color Management' button to open the Color Management component of the Control Panel, explained in more detail in the Control Panel chapter of the TweakGuides Tweaking Companion for Windows Vista.

    The correct color profile for your monitor is typically placed as an .ICM file in the \WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color\ directory when you install your monitor drivers. Your monitor drivers are usually contained on the driver CD which came with your monitor. If you haven't installed these already, I strongly recommend you do so now, and if necessary, manually search for the correct .ICM file and place it in the directory mentioned above. If you do not have a driver disk, or cannot find it, then you should search the internet for your monitor manufacturer's website, and/or your monitor's brand and model number, and find the latest drivers.

    When you have placed the .ICM file in the directory above, click the Add button here, highlight the file and click Add again to add it to the list. Then select the relevant item in the list and click 'Set As Default', then click the Apply button to use it.


    ..............


    when i open the color managment from the control panel,its empty , if i check the box that says "use my settings for this device" it brings up a list of a few different ones that are in that location


    any idea what one to use ? have any 1720 owners changed this ? or know of the drivers for the lcd ?
