Maybe you could secure the services of a kind lister who has the same kit to check it out for you, at least then you could sell it on with confidence. > Temperature, user selected.

That's the most universal colour temp, it may look a little warm if you have been conditioned to view a native 9300k screen as white though. > Mine doesn't generate a report.

Only if you are very very lucky. Consistency of calibration between monitors relies on many factors, firstly that you input the correct screen chromacities but then the final colour calibration has to be visually gauged. The white and black points are only relative not absolute (a calibrated measuring tool like a Spyder must be used to gauge absolute brightness levels). The gamma adjustment tool that is provided only allows gamma to be checked and adjusted at middle gray. The application conveniently assumes that the gamma curve remains predictable at all other gray levels between the white and black points. > Funny, I think my laptop (without Adobe Gamma) looks pretty much like my > desktop. Just based on how I set both machines. Put a full colour test image with deep blacks and pure whites up on both monitors and set them side by side, I'd be surprised if they present similar colours and more surprised still if they appeared the same brightness. > Frankly, I think I am missing something. I believe that there really is no substitute for actual measurement when calibrating screens, whether the gear is good enough to be able to provide good results through calibration is another matter. If you want the achieve the best possible outcome using the Adobe Gamma tool and visual calibration then I'd suggest trying the following procedure: http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/photoshop/v6/adobe_gamma.htm Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
