Calibrated At Last
Today I finally got a Spyder2 Express monitor calibration kit, and calibrated my ThinkPad's laptop. I've known it to be shockingly badly calibrated (although it is an improvement over the X20), but was curious as to how much it can be corrected.
One word: wow. Thanks to Graeme Gill et al of ArgyllCMS fame for reverse-engineering how the Spyder2 works, and making calibrating displays reasonably easy to do. I'll probably write up what I did at some point, because if you are like me and don't read the documentation there are a number of stumbling points.
I also blame Jakub entirely for making me think ArgyllCMS was broken by picking slightly warm grey tones for Darkilouche. My freshly calibrated screen looked a little warm instead of the usual very cool, and it took me a good ten minutes to think about checking that the theme is actually pure grey.
