Q. what type of monitor color calibration do you use, or do you just leave it alone?
A. I use the Spyder3 Elite. http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3elite.php It has good reviews and the price is decent. It does monitors (both CRT & LCD), laptops, and projectors.
Every now and then the question "why doesn't an image look the same when I put it on a friends monitor?" or "when I had photos printed, they don't look like they do on my computer" appears on Y!A...the answer is always monitor calibration.
Some key tips on calibration:
1) have the monitor on and in use for at least 30 minutes
2) avoid direct light on the screen when calibrating (can you see any light reflecting on the screen?) I turn off overhead lights and shut the shades on the windows.

Enquiry about purchase of Monitor Inverter_Consultation needed?
Q. Hi all,
Currently I have experienced a number of '''monitor-error issues''' from my Toshiba laptop, of which the monitor backlight '''appearance is very blur, faded, and sometimes, discoloured'''. I wonder whether the primary problem lies either at the Monitor Inverter or at the monitor itself. As I want to try to get a displacement of the Monitor Inverter first rather than the more expensive TFT monitor, I'm about to order one at '''batterysupport.com'''.
So this is my doubt: '''is there any one here having experienced such a monitor-error relating issue like mine before?''' if yes, '''how have you been dealing with it?''' I can get the order online straightaway from batterysupport.com, but to the best of my knowledge, '''this company is based in China''' (maybe it's a Chinese company itself) which in turn gives me a second thought about making purchase from the site. Hence, I write here seeking more information regarding to the issue. Thanks in advance.

A. Flat panel monitors consist of two major layers. The LCD screen that lets light through, and the light behind the screen. Older laptops used primarily CCFL (Code Cathode Florescent Lighting) while newer monitors use LED based light.
If you've every seen an overhead florescent tube flickering, that's the same sort of problem your laptop can encounter if the inverter is failing.
Make sure you have an installation plan ready. Getting to the inverter in a laptop involves some major disassembly involving dozens of tiny screws and many tiny, fragile electrical connectors. Working on laptops is significantly more complex than desktops. Inverters are normally intended to be replaced, so you'll also need a soldering iron to remove the old component and install the new.
I'd try this for a fairly recent, gaming level laptop. For an older web browsing notebook, I'd look at buying an entirely new PC instead.
