Even a half decent budget TN Is better than what OP has right now. I'd just splash 100 bucks on a new one. Or make it 150-180 and you have a solid IPS.

All I can say is it might be some of the best tech I have ever bought in all my time of using a PC.
They are not just for computer monitors. If you spend a small fortune on a big screen TV for your home theater, a color calibration too is invaluable too. It is amazing (to me anyway) how far out of calibration brand new TVs costing $1000s will be right out of the box. :(

While technically true, you would need a PC connected to the screen full time when viewing for the ICC to be active. Once swapped over to cable or another device, the color will go back to poop, no?

Did you yell that last part at the monitor when you threw it out? I would :D :toast:

If you need new monitor advice, do ask, tell us what you are looking for resolution / diagonal wise and budget.

My comment you quoted was for TVs. I'm not aware of any TV using ICC profiles - profiles that, with computer monitors, run in the Windows OS.

When you calibrate a TV, you change the settings in the TVs own built in control panel.

Another option suggested by a friend I've never tried it but it comes from the THX people so I would hope it is pretty good. At least the price is right.

THX Tune-Up App.
