Which external display are you using with your ThinkPad?

#1 Post by rootinit » Fri Mar 11, 2022 4:54 am

I have really been enjoying my ThinkVision P44w-10 43.4" display, and wanted to know if anyone else had one, or if not what you are using instead.

What color calibrator do you use? Got a ColorHug2 but the resulting ICC profile is a bit reddish.

I have the X-rite i1 Display Pro. I use that with Benq's Palette Master Element calibration software. I use the X-Rite software with the same colorimeter to calibrate the Laptop screen. I have to close out any X-rite software running when I start up the Benq program or there's conflicts with them both trying to access the sensor. I don't see the ColorHug on the list of supported sensors. It's only X-rite and Spyder devices.

The ColorHug is a colorimeter created by open-source developer Richard Hughes. It's supported in Linux via Gnome and Argyll CMS.
The ICC profile created by those programs are compatible with Windows.

Most of the time it is either a single or two 24" WUXGA (1920x1200) displays. I have an older desk setup with a 22" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) LCD which I want to upgrade soon. The idea is to replace the 22" with the 24" and the 24" with a 27" QHD (2560x1440) screen. All the displays are IPS, by the way.
