my 2-3 months experience with a 6625WD!

Excellent! Alot of posts in here about problems and all that sort of stuff. I just wanted to say that I have had none.

Everything have worked fine. I recieved my machine shortly after ordering it, got it in a nice box with a great manual, easy driver support and installation. my screen is perfect and beautiful.. keyboard and trackpad have been fine. same with heat and noise...


its just been a great experience, and I can recommend this machine. I think its important to post this even if its kinda useless.

I was scared as hell to order a zepto after coming in here and seeing all the problems, and stuff.

 

Thats good, mine didnt even come with a manual lol

 

lol he craves the adrenaline rush of such fear, and when he product arrives without any defects its all worth it lol

 

same here, but my sisters 6324W came with one (and a brighter display ) and its realy good though

 

Glad to hear that you have no problems. Most people without problems don't need to get involved in the forums so it is difficult to knowthe proportions.

I have a PDF manual for my 6024W. It is well illustrated but doesn't include the bits I really wanted to know, such as the BIOS options.

At first sight, my Zepto also was allright.
I just did the usual color-tuning (I put a little Tool online for it)
and was set up and ready to go.

The first issue was that the headphone-plug was not working. That was because the right drivers were not included in the initial Vista setup. New drivers fixed this. There is quite an annoying amount of noise coming out if it though, but an external volume knob also solved this.

 

ALTERNATE CHEAP METHOD FOR COLOR CALIBRATION

If you own Photoshop CS2 (not CS3) it comes with "Adobe Gamma."
Adobe Gamma can be found via your control panel, it installs with CS2.
If you open it you can visually calibrate your monitor much like how
NinaMaya suggested, only it's a little less invasive and doesn't require
a program to run in your Tray. Remember to adust all 3 channel
however, as adjusting only 1 channel will effect the overall Gamma
of your monitor.

Here's a video that can also help: How to use Adobe Gamma.

It's not perfect, but better than nothing in my humble opinion.

 

Thanks for the advice
Unfortunately, it isn't shipped with CS3 anymore (I also have CS2, but won't install it just for adobe gamma)

the monitor calibration wizard will only sit in the tray if you want it to prevent other programs from changing the profile. In most cases, it just starts with Windows, sets the colors and then quits, but the color profile stays (As long as no other program changes it again).

Then, only gamma and temperature wouldn't have helped me a lot, because the color distribution on my display (As well as on my Dell, it's a notebook related problem in general) is quite irregular:
The middle greys look blueish and the white looks perfectly white or even yellowish. So just color temperature or gamma curves won't make it better.

And since I use the Notebook also for graphic works and need to be sure if a grey is really a grey and not really a light brown, I need at least the greyscale to be correct.

And I never found a color calibration program where you could exactly modify the color curves, so I used Photoshop and this calibration tool which could read a rather simple file format.

This is how my actual calibration curve looks like:

 

just one idea
for my display (and i'm sure for many others, too) are color graphs in the net (e.g. from tests)
i was wondering wether there is any program out there that can uses this to calibrate he display?

thats the graph which should fit to most 6224 (and 6324) build in 2007

I don't know a program that could actually use this image for calibration, but it would be quite possible to write a program that does.
Just scanning the curve and writing out a mcw-file for Monitor Calibration Wizard. Maybe I'll try that later.
