Hi all, having some major trouble with getting colours on my monitor to look the same as on other peoples.

Last night I did some night photography at a local volkwagen meet. Sorted the pictures out and photoshopped a few of them a bit to remove small bushes in the background so it looked completely black dark. The pictures looked fantastic on my computer, but people have said they can see all dodgy black lines and the pictures look crap on their computer!

So I went on the laptop and checked it on there and the images look completely different. Far too light and you can make out where Ive went over little bits in the black background.

An example is this picture:



On my computer, it looks great. Right light settings, nice and dark background.. But on the laptop it looks terrible.



How can I fix this? Ive read to save in sRGB, which I have done using the Save for Web & Devices feature in Photoshop and it just looked the same! Ive properly set my monitors up a few times too..

Just played around with all my monitor settings for ages and still no difference.. Anyone got any ideas?


Yeah its burners polo.. Theyre just a temporary measure until he sorts some new ones out.

There was a device you could use to sample the screen colour and feed it into the computer to correct it. Cant remember what its called though.

ignore me, i see its durham dubs from the image.

The corado looks nice

the screen is too dark and doesnt have enug hcontrqst,

I recently got a Pantone Huey for calibrating my monitors. Seems to do a reasonable job although I havent fully got my head around the whole thing yet.

Im currently e-mailing LG Support and Ive been passed to 2nd line support.. Who Im still waiting a reply from!

Doubt itll get me anywhere though. It makes my twin monitor setup useless considering I bought the two for using with photography, etc. Ive had to resort to using photoshop and my crap old laptop
