    Hi,

    I live in France and I bought a Vaio FS215M last week. I must admit the screen looks really too bright (much as I expected in fact :eek: ). It's one a those new X-BLACK II LCD screens (patent is called X-BRITE ECO in USA). I tested all brightness levels by using the function keys but colors still appear washed.

    Anyone knows the best procedure for calibrating the screen? (Adobe Gamma, Nvidia drivers, BIOS setting...). I mean: reducing brightness, making deeper colors with still a pure white.



    Thanks,
    Christophe

    Just for info: The horizontal viewing angles seem not so wide than people say in reviews.. After 30 degrees (from right or left) the white background turn yellow and the dark colors go to inverse. Have you the same issue?

    Get something like this but with slightly more pronounced inverted colors :(

    I don't want to be paranoiac but I hope Sony didn't put a cheap LCD panel in my FS215M instead of some others Vaio FS have better panels... (like Dell does it with its own notebooks).
