    Hi,

    I have heard a lot of negativity about the x100 or x120 screen, and what I wondered is: Has anyone calibrated their screen with a spectrometer, such as one of the puck-style ones, a getag-mcbeth or a Spyder color checker.

    From my experience, I have noticed that Lenovo does not seem to do such things, except for on the "W" series, which has internal color correction. My T61P was way blue.

    If someone could calibrate their screen and share their custom .icc profile, perhaps it could help the others, as it may be closer than stock. Thank you. If I get one, I will do it, but until then....

    I do not have a profile. I was going to take a stab at it, but noticed a nice improvement in the overall screen quality after the latest AMD graphics driver.

    I calibrated my screen using a i1display2 and posted the icc profile a few months back, but nobody seemed to like it :(.

    I've attached a more recent one to this post if you'd like to give it a try.

    If this is your first time using a color profile in windows, you might need to jump through a few hoops to install it.

    To set it up, go to the color management control panel. Go to the advanced tab, click the "Change System Defaults" button at the bottom. You'll see what appears to be the same window pop up. Go to the advanced tab again, check "Use Windows display calibration". Close the window, then on the first window, go back to the Devices tab. Hit "Add", then "Browse", and select the profile that you downloaded. Finally, select the profile and hit "Set as default profile". If you don't like it, just select the default profile, probably "Lenovo Thinkpad LCD monitor", and set that as the default.

    Or use something like dispalyprofile to load it :).

    Hey clicq I wanted to thank you for your previous calibrations. I've been using your 7500k settings that you posted a while back. I feel they are a great improvement over stock settings and I thank you for your effort. The other cal you had was too reddish for me, the 6500k I think.
