ThinkPad T420 Upgrade Options

[jaspen-meyer]

That is rather unfortunate, as I wouldn't mind using my T420 for editing photos; the TFT in mine isn't accurate enough for my tastes (and it's a TFT). It's more than bright enough though.

Before giving up on the monitor, try loading a color profile.

If you can't make the calibration yourself, you can try any of my profiles:

Without a color profile applied my T420 screen is awful. With a profile, it's half decent.
