Yes im back to this ¬_¬

My monitor looks superb to me, but when i go on the computers at college/school and my laptop they always look too dark or too bright or not enough contrast or too much! etc etc...grrrrrrr!

So is there any super dooper good free monitor calibrators ones?

Or reasonable priced ones?

Thanks

Try this. It's easy enough to keep on a flashdrive or copy it into your own workshop folder for easy access.


Here's a thread from a while back on the subject, with a couple of links.

Hardware calibrator is always better than software.

Also, watch the histogram. If that is more to the left then the image may be a bit dark even if you see it as just right on your monitor.

These are different calibrators which have different models. Each has a basic model which is between $100-$200.

This seems to be a good guide.

I use this one, a little costly but worth it. Calibrates monitors, printers, ambient light and samples.
