    Hi all,
    My M6Ne display turns most grayscale colors into soft blue. I've tried to adjust the RGB gamma/brightness/contrast in Windows, but I can't seem to figure out the correct settings. I'm aware that everyone has personal taste for colors, and this is a well known issue with LCD's, but since I often work with websites, it's rather annoying that I have to use my CRT.

    I've tried a couple of screen calibration applications, but none of them seem to help me out.

    Maybe someone has had the same problem, and would like to share their color profile?

    Thanks in advice

    I've wanted the same thing!
    The only thing that I do with my M6Ne is... I change the Gamma in the ATI profile down to 0.75; then I turn the brightness up using the Fn + F6 key
    It just feels better to me...

    ASUS M6800Ne, P-M 1.5 Dothan, 512MB Ram, Toshiba Combo drive, Samsung Spinpoint M 40G HDD with 8M cache, Mobility Radeon 9700

    Changing the Gamma profile in the ATI software... or Adobe if you use any of their programs the best place.....

    But also, there have been 3 different displays used on the M6 (15.1" regular ratio) in the 16 months it's been out. There is a difference between the 3 as well.. They are supposed to have the same specifications but I've noticed some that were cool like your screen is, and some that were warm... and still many that were neutral... which is ideally what you'd rather have. I don't think there is a good program that can tell you who the lcd maker is.... There might be.. but it'd be good to start there and see which screen you have. That might help you make the proper settings.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Ok, thank you both for your replies. I've tried Adobe Gamma, but unfortunally no luck there either.

    Also tried to determine the manufacturer with a couple of utilities, but every one of them displays it as generic... Seems like I need to mess a bit more with the ATI software and live with the half-measure.
