    Hi

    I'm looking for a bit of help getting the colours on my new Dell D630 under control.

    I have the CMO 1440x900 screen with the onboard graphics.

    Could some one please forward me an icm file or similar or even the numbers they punched into their intel configuration.

    If someone really nice had one of those fancy screen calibration tools, I'd be happy to use its settings.

    Thanks

    Thanks for this. I had a bit of a play, but I can not see it making any difference. I think the intel drivers are overriding any kind of icm settings, unless your icm config is very subtle.

    Apart from
    right click -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> color mangement -> add -> apply
    is there any other way I should try to make the ICM settings work?

    Does anyone know how to disable intel's colour management.

    Thanks

    i played around with Intel's control panel to see if i could get a like setting, and here's what i got - change the red gamma, and the red gamma only to 1.2. for each red, blue and green set the brightness to -16. let me know what you think.

    Looking nice. I made the Contrast on Blue 45 (instead of 50) (bit of a fudge there)

    Thanks for your efforts.
