Originally posted by sterretje One of the reasons why you might have the problems is the angle of view on the laptop. Tilt the screen slightly and colours and contrast will probably change. If that's the case, the laptop is useless for serious editing.
This depends on the type of screen; both my netbook and laptop suffer from this. There is a 'new' type of technology (IPS) that might be better for your purpose; not sure if there are laptops with it.
Just a link that I found:
LCD Panel Technology Explained - S-IPS, H-IPS, S-PVA, MVA and TN there are some Thinkpads with IPS panels, think it`s the T line
I have Thinkpad R500 with 15,4 WSXGA+ and CCFL backlight, and compared to any other common desktop LCDs at work or anywhere else I was able to compare, the display is much much better
IPS pannels are more of a proffesional solution in my opinion, but of course, I wouldnt mind owning one
I just found on wiki, that LG`s last generation IPS claims 30 bit colour depth -1,07 bilion colours - wow
