How do you calibrate your display? What are your display settings.

Hello, I recently picked up a 23 inch IPS monitor and I am having trouble with the calibration. I simply cannot find the rite settings. I have been using a laptop monitor for the past 10 years. I keep my current laptop monitor on the lowest brightness and it works well on my eyes. However, I can never seem to get the rite settings on an external display, I end up returning them.

I have tried the windows calibrate option, the one with the black shirt and white shirt, on the contrast. Still no.


The text on my laptop screen looks a bit brighter, yet it doesn't hurt compared to the darker text on my new monitor. Red buttons on my monitor seem more vibrant.


I was wondering what settings you have on your monitor?
I'm currently trying 0 brightness and 50 percent contrast on this new monitor.

Then, on the Intel Hd Graphics panel I have the default settings, on the color brightness.


Which leads me to another thing, whats the difference between the monitor brightness and the color brightness on the Hd graphics panel?

If I lower the brightness on the Intel software, the blacks blend in with other blacks. The brightness on the monitor simply makes the light of the actual monitor darker, but I can still manage out the different blacks. I am just so confused. This new screen hurts my eyes, the colors seem to bright even if they are darker. I have this problem with all new monitors I try to get.

Note: my laptop monitor is nothing fancy its a simple 15 inch, lower than 1080p. I have a cheap 300 dollar laptop, it does the job.

Thanks, I would appreciate any advice. Here is a comparison between both. For some reason the left, laptop, hurts less than the rite.

Try this. You can use the MP4s, or burn it to a DVD. Make sure to use ImgBurn and follow the instructions. You can use it in your Blu-Ray player to calibrate your TV too.

Brightness determines how "gray" your blacks will be. There should be an ideal setting that allows your monitor to reach its lowest black which is ideal. The backlight determines how much light the screen produces. A lower brightness setting is better if your are in a dark room or are using the computer at night as it is easier on the eyes. Use flux to reduce the amount of blue light from your screen https://justgetflux.com/
