My MB monitor is fine, but I'm trying to use it with a Westinghouse LCD panel, it's a few years old but works decently well. Anyways, I'm trying to edit pictures and whatnot....
First problem is, pictures view on the mac look great but onthe PC, colours look like crap, blurry image with lots of noise. So I try to calibrate the monitor. Calibration tool tells me to raise the contrast to 100%, great, then turn down brightness until the oval dissapears.....I know, not literealy, but very close to it. I cannot get it to get that dim. "decrease brightness if the right half appears brighter than the oval." Even with my brightness on 0, it is too bright. ?!?
Then, I'm not sure, when I'm done, what do I reset my brightness and contrast to? Colours seem more vivid now, but text is hard to read and I cannot see the faces of anyone in my pictures if the picture was a little dim to begin with, it's like I took a bunch of silhouettes. Cool effect, but I really need to see my pictures as they are supposed to be, and how they lookon the MB!
What should I do? I'm confused!
