Anyone expert in monitor calibration [result]?

I recently calibrated my T60p (ColorEyes Display) and here's the result:



I posted this on the ColorEyes forum and was told the high dE blue is caused by aging CCFL of the LCD.

Personally I can't tell what the effects are with the high dE blue but is there a way to reduce it besides swapping the LCD? (which is something easy for me but I don't want to spend unnecessary dollars)

p.s. dE for pure white is almost 10! what does that mean?

 

"pure white" needs to be pure white, otherwise it's not...

As for the skewed blue correction, yes, it's caused by the ccfl going out/aging. This is normal. And it will get worse.

The tube could well have loads of life left in it. But if you really need or want decent color matching/calibration, you're going to have to replace either the entire panel or try to find a new replacement ccfl assembly and swap it out.

Good news is that decent to good laptop LCD/LED panels are reasonably priced these days. Or you can go with an external monitor.

But when trying to repair or upgrade a laptop you need to look at the total $$ you're going to spend and bounce that against the cost of a new machine.

An old repaired laptop is still an old repaired laptop with no warranty.

 

Does high dE in blue mean what I am seeing right now is more bluish than what it suppose to be? or something else?

 

Even IPS panels are getting affordable at sizes like 22" and those offer better colors and viewing angles.

 

Yes, on this particular monitor, if you don't apply for corrections your images will be displayed with far more blue than is called for.

Go ahead and apply the suggested corrections. They won't put any 'stress' on your gpu or the monitor.
