Are you also new to Google? :dunno: This forum here also has a search function, upper right hand. Topic is not new, pops up regularly. Easy to find all the previous threads. Do also check "Digital Darkroom" here.hi guy, i am new. what is calibrate monitors?
calibration is not recommended as a 1-time only exercise........... LCD wear and tear from use, constant on/off, restarts, playing lots of video , dvd's etc etc etc will throw off the colors slightly.......so , every 3 months ?
Its just like tying your shoe laces...... they come loose once in a while
p/s ............ if you are not anal picky, use one of the free color adjustment/calibration programs online ...... better than nothing

Another thing is - don't get the last-generation spyders - they don't work correctly with wide-gamut displays and will cause color cast.

Erm... how to tell if one has a wide-gamut display? If my laptop is a pretty old model (> 2 yrs), do I still have to worry about that?
Actually if you can hold the user settings constant, the only thing changes is backlight intensity. If you try to compensate for that, the color temperature may change slightly.
