boris_krivoruk3 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have HP PC tablet. I calibrated monitor which changed colors somewhat. But what I see on the screen is more yellow and lighter that what is printed. I made an experiment, trying to see whether it's monitor or printer. I converted photo to black and white and on the screen and looks almost sepia, but printed neutral on the printer. I wonder whether PC Tablet is calibrateable at all; it does not have any brightness/contrast/color adjustment controls on the monitor and calibration does not do much.

Ed_Ingold Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Calibrating a laptop is about as productive as arranging grasshoppers. However, you can use any calibration colorimeter that works without suction cups, if you can accept the limitations of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Also keep in mind that there is likely a difference in whitepoint. Unless you give your eyes time to adjust to the screen it will always look off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyepasha Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I agree with Edward, you will not be able to calibrate the PC Tablet. I use a Dell Inspiron 9300 for all work which has a nice bright and color rich screen. But there is absolutely no comparison between that laptop screen and the Eizo which I use for all darkroom (I mean lightroom) work. The images are absolutely unusable for toning, processing and print work on the internal display. Unfortunate, but true. Yes, I calibrate the internal display monthly with an eye-one, but that is mainly for "relatively pleasing to the eye" factors and not for color calibration to print or lab.
