    Your Eyes....?


    LoL Sorry had to, although I wonder if a regular Plasma/LCD calibration disk would work

    If you have Photoshop (even Elements), you should have a program called Adobe Gamma which is good for calibration.

    Other than that, I don't know.

    EDIT: Adobe Gamma can be found in Control Panel if you have it installed.

    If you have an nvidia card, there is a calibration tool built into the control center, you might want to try it.

    Theres a device called Spyder at www.colorvision.com It calibrates the screen colors perfectly. If you're editing photos it's a night and day difference. It will also calibrate your printer and scanner so what you see on the screen is what you get on the printer.
    I highly recommend it.

    I use the Eye-one color calibration from XRITE. I brought it recently from BH Photo for my laptop and the difference is now incredible. It was very easy to use as well.
