    Hi !

    I'm a happy owner of the Razer Blade 14.
    As you may now, the screen is not "fantastic", and I wish to know if calibration would help making it a bit better. I know some people used Windows Calibration Tool, but I don't know which settings would fit best. How can I improve black levels for example ? With gamma correction ? At what level ?
    Are there any better tools to improve black levels ?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    PS : I'm french native so please excuse my English if I make mistakes !

    Thanks.
    Works better indeed, but it seems like display brightness is now lower, and white aren't fully white. I guess everything can't be perfect. The first preset made it better too but too greenish (in my point of view). I'll keep this profile but if someone has something better, I'd gladly try it !

    I tried using that razer preset, but it looked a little too warm for me :/
    The whites are nearly orange.. Guessing the lighting conditions is difference b/w me and wrecks' ideal calibration settings

    Yes, definitely warmer, movies and games look better. The main issue with that preset is internet and office, since most websites and documents are 90% white.
    The other preset called "Razer 14" is nice too. A bit green/blue but better for 90% white softwares.

    I'm sure you could use this profile as a starting point to make your own profiles as per your preference(s). The guy who posted this one used a hardware display calibration device, so I suppose this is the base, unadjusted, untampered profile.

    If you do create a custom profile that you like better, please post that too so that others can benefit. Maybe we'll end up with a selection of profiles that Razer Blade 14" users can choose from. :)
