![]() Notably, some Lenovo premium models (& others) with the IPS type LCD panels have LED back lights that only offer about 50% sRGB. Many laptop models in the last 5 years only offer 50% to 67% coverage of the smaller (but adequate) sRGB space. NOTE: before you buy a calibrator - I want to check that you are aware that only a handful or two of laptop screens offer full coverage of the sRGB color space, let alone the wide gamut AdobeRGB color space. X-rite i1 Display Pro > Colormunki Display instead of the top end X model > buy the Y model for laptops where you have no intention of using an external monitor (which offers all the RGB and other custom controls) don't buy the top end end calibrator. ![]() It comes down to the Delta E being slightly larger in easy mode - which may not even be noticeable to the human eye. Generally speaking, the results you obtain should be better than what the OEM ICC profile provided but in the "Easy" mode it will not be as good as what can be obtained using the full mode where you tweak RGB settings. ![]() Instead it just makes all the changes based on its' internal logic and incorporates them into the custom ICC profile it will create for your laptop. In this mode it will NOT ask for adjustments to be made to RGB. You set the brightness as best you can (typically using the FN Function and Left/Right/Up/Down key combo) and then run the software in "automatic" or "Easy" mode. The software that comes with most of these calibrators will have an option for laptops. I have a problem: my laptop lcd monitor does only has "external" control for brightness.

I am also very happy with getting the ColorPassport - it brought new life to my older and current studio shots (skin colors became much more natural), and difficult lighting shots (fluorescent / mercury / sodium, like on skating arena: a big boost in the yellow/orange/red department again, much more natural skin tones + overall better color reproduction). My only experience is with ColorMunki Smile, but I am sure that as long as Spyder4Express is supported by dispcalGUI (Argyll) - check that first - you will get all the functionality you'll need in a colorimeter by using this open source software. Given that, would the Spyder + dispcalGUI be the way to go? Looking to get the colorchecker passport, might spring for a monitor calibrator as well.Īctually, the deal is not over yet - I can still see the 79$ + 9$ shipping price on amazon.ca: And these easily defeat the non-technical end-user who just wants to do something simple.Frank311 wrote: ↑Thanks for this thread! Looks like the colormunki smile deal is over, it's now the same price as the Spyder4Express ($109). There is always a Catch22 when trying to install applications in Linux which are not in the standard distribution - as is the case with version 2.1.2 of Argyll. This doesn’t really feel like ‘working out of the box’ - and I haven’t even got near installing the deb files. This test fails on my system, even though I have full sound support operational in my Linux install.Ī search within the mint community for a solution to enable the system bell has so far (about 2.5 hours of reading) failed to reveal any solution to this issue, so for me, it looks like a show stopper for the time being. The documentation explains how to test the system bell by invoking an echo command. It goes on to describe a necessary fix to a startup script within directory etc/rc.local, which does not exist in my install of Mint 20. The copious and well written installation guidance within the documentation states that the SpyderX depends on the ‘system-bell’ for communication with the user and recognises that this system function doesn’t work in some Linux installs. Since reading this post about Argyll a few hours ago I have been attempting to install it - and failing at the first hurdle. When I use this word I mean that the software works ‘out of the box’ or very nearly so. I think I’m going to change my mind slightly about whether it is supported or not - depending on the meaning of ‘supported’.
