any suggestions, software, experiences, etc? If this has been covered a million times please send me in the right direction.

thanks very much.

hardware calibration is the best idea. You can go to amazon and find out about some really professional LCD color calibrator.
If you don't want to shell out money, however, adobe website do have some stock calibrated color profile that you can apply readily to your laptop.
In addition, Lenovo do have the monitor driver file, along with a Flexview color profile that you can use.

There was a much related question asked the othe day in the "GENERAL ThinkPad News/Comments & Questions" (sub-) forum; see the thread Hardware screen colour calibrators.

Here's the link to the Adobe color profile. You don't need to install adobe gamma at all. The color reproduction is pretty good with this profile, so try it out
