T60 LCD color

[rebop]

Just got my new T60 14.1 SXGA with a Samsung panel and ATI 1400 card. Still loading and configuring my 268 apllications and utiliities (:^), but spent last night looking at the color accuracy.

Everything is too blue. Grays are blue. Other colors look fine.

So, I assume I can use the ATI panel to correct separately for the LCD and an external monitor, no? (external in shipping now)

And, try as I can, I can not get it "right" I can come closer with changing the blue channel down and contrast down a bit for the bklue channel, butit does not look like my T43 on external at work, which is very accurate.

Anyone else have this kind of problem? Got a good set of instructions to get the LCD to be a bit closer to what it should be?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I did, but older version. Updating as I type, though I don;t expect that will be the big difference. More than willing to be surprised...............

Ok, installed - rebooted - no difference. Still need the blue channel at -40 give or take.

But good thought, thanks.

Laptop LCD panels are generally bad at color reproduction. As far as I know, thats a trade-off for longer battery life. External LCD panels are much better.

I one made the mistake of color-correcting my photos on a T41, the prints were horrible
