how to manually calibrate computer monitors

[mokiloo]

---

people need some input here
I have problems with my lapt0p monitor

I can't seem to tell if I got my shots in the correct settings when I uploaded it viewed it
in my laptop.
In my camera LCD panel the shots looked the way I wanted to be----brightness & contrast, saturation, WB settings..etc

but on my laptop monitor some appeared underexposed and some have saturation issues.
but it appeared ok on another PC.

can you share some tips or ways on hot to manually calibrate a computer monitor?

tnx

if ur on xp - try to use adobe gamma

my collegues uses Datacolor Spyder3 Express Monitor Color Calibration Device if im not mistaken. this is widely use by most photographer to get an accurate result while editing and for printing.

i dont know kung sa mga shops diha sa sugbu naa ni offer calibration but its a good thing na calibrated ang screen.

If serious ka sa photography or if you want to make a living out of it, spyder monitor calibration tool is a must. Sa ako nga case I just set all my hardware color profiles to be the same e.g. sRGB all the way.
