Originally posted by Serkevan I should do a proper calibration beyond what Windows offers, though. Thanks for mentioning Argyll, I should dive into it.
I've been using Argyll and dispcalGUI for years, but when Python 2 was deprecated, compatibility for dispcalGUI became spotty across my various machines. I now use just Argyll itself and calibrate / profile from the command line, whether on linux or Windows. It's actually very straightforward.
There's a great tutorial here:
Display calibration and profiling with Argyll
It's worth reading all the pre-amble, but if you want to skip straight to the calibration and profiling process, scroll down to "Display calibration and profiling Argyll workflow". For step 4, which deals with brightness and balancing the R, G and B controls for colour temperature, you only need to perform the brightness setting if using the laptop's built-in display. The R, G, B adjustments are only relevant for external monitors that support these adjustments.
I use my six-year-old Colormunki Display colorimeter with Argyll, and I'm always happy with the results. I keep wondering if I should buy a newer model, but for my modest hobbyist purposes I think it's good enough...
