Q. Okay, so today I bought a Dell laptop running Vista. I'm pumped. I'm using it only for photoshop/photography and music recording/editting. However, the default colors on the screen seem.... bland and they don't seem to have enough contrast. They don't 'pop'. I think I read something online about Vista having some type of bug where it's next to impossible to get the colors calibrated and even harder to keep it that way.
Don't tell me to go to properties and change my scheme...I know all about that. It's not that. It's just the brightness, contrast, gamma, etc.
Any ideas or help??

A. Well, once upon a time Adobe would ship with a color correction tool to let you try to match the displayed colors with the actual colors.
Add to that how horrible LCD displays are for serious Photoshop work where color correction is an issue. It is hard, for example, to ensure you are seeing the color you want, without looking at the LCD screen in exactly the correct way.
Here is some testing done with professional calibration software... and links to the program suites themselves

And here is what is available from download.com

Laptop LCDs are not supposed to have their contrast, gamma, color temp, etc. adjusted. This is why they do not come ways to adjust this. You are going to have to use a calibration tool that makes the adjustments itself... and where you will end up loading windows, then loading that adjusted color profile every time the computer boots.
Good Luck.

Dell U2412M monitors for photo editing?
Q. I currently have two TN LCD monitors and am really displeased with the image quality. I would like to upgrade and found the Dell U2412M, which seems to be very reasonably priced.
Does anyone have this monitor? Is it OK for photo editing?

A. Whatever monitor you use, you need to calibrate and profile your monitor on a routine basis.
The optimal monitor would be one that can reproduce the AdobeRGB gamut like the Color Edge monitors made by Eizo.

Most people do not want to invest so heavily in a monitor so buy a monitor that is sRGB compliant. With such a monitor and using a monitor calibration tool like the Xrite Eyeone Pro. Here is how that works
