Hi, I used my Lenovo Y710 (laptop) for website and Photoshop work. I noticed that what appears to be a reddish brown on my monitor actually has a major green tint on all my other monitors. I pulled up a color chart on my laptop and compared it to my nice desktop flatscreen and there are some colors that seem to be quite off.

I've tried fiddling around with the Catalyst control center, but when I try and bring the greens up, it turns my whites greenish also.

Is there any simple way to properly calibrate the color?

I assume the Lenovo y710 has a pretty good screen, as my friend's old crappy laptop shows colors better.

I was told to try working with a callibration site at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ , however when i tweak one setting, it screws another up. I can't seem to get a decent image.

Any ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Kyle
