Failing to calibrate such monitors can result in washed-out or blurry textures. Lower-quality monitors e. Built-in monitors such as the ones included in laptops rarely need calibration, though you're more than welcome to calibrate built-in monitors using the same process you'd follow for a separate one. Clean your monitor if necessary. If your monitor is dirty or smudged, take a moment to wipe it down before attempting to calibrate it. Place your monitor in a neutral lighting environment. Your monitor shouldn't have any glare or direct light shining on it; for best results, make sure your monitor is in a room where it can remain unimpacted by direct natural and artificial light.
Connect your monitor using a high-quality cable. If possible, make sure your monitor is connected to your computer using a DisplayPort cable. Turn on your monitor for at least 30 minutes before continuing.
This will give your monitor plenty of time to warm up. Change your monitor's resolution back to default if necessary. Part 2. Open the calibration tool. Type in calibrate display , then click Calibrate display color at the top of the Start menu. Make sure that the calibration tool is on the correct display. If you use dual monitors, you may need to move the calibration window onto the second monitor.
Click Next. It's in the bottom-right corner of the page. Set your monitor to its factory-default color settings. If necessary, press your monitor's "Menu" button, then select the factory default color settings from the on-screen menu.
This isn't necessary if you've never changed the color settings on your monitor not in your computer's settings. Skip this step if you're on a laptop. Review the "Good gamma" example, then click Next. The "Good gamma" example is in the middle of the page. Ideally, you'll set your gamma to match this example.
Adjust your display's gamma. Click and drag the slider on the left side of the page up or down to raise or lower your gamma, making sure that the cube in the middle of the page resembles the "Good gamma" example from the previous step. Click Next twice. Review the "Good brightness" example, then click Next. If you're on a laptop, you'll click the Skip option in the middle of the page and then skip the next two steps.

Never had to do that before but I am now back to the state of getting prints that look the same as the view on the monitor. Thought I'd throw that last bit in just in case your new setup has a similar problem and you pull out as much hair as I did!!
I'm not talking about setting the default profile in Colour Management under the Display properties but as an additional option inside the Graphics card settings. I'll make do for now and save up for something more accurate.
Can anyone explain to me, in simple terms what the color settings do in PS? For example: when you choose the working space, what does this actually do and how does it determine the way in which PS displays your image? Surely when you open an image it is tagged with a profile assigned during export from the RAW conversion and so it contains the infomation necessary to render the colours correctly. What does selecting a working color space in the settings actually achieve?
This is what i use to calibrate my 20" Dell LCD, it works great. Adobe Gamma and Adobe Gamma Loader will then be installed as per my post above. It's what I have done. I have used Adobe Gamma to calibrate this LCD monitor plus my previous monitors and on each occasion, after some fine tuning, I get the correct gamma levels for Windows according to Norman's chart.
However, the important test is that my photos print exactly as they appear on the monitor. Photography is a visual experience and I, personally, see no reason to spend on hardware to achieve the same result I get with AG. You are correct in that you can embed the profile in the image when you export from the RAW converter.
PS will pick this up and, if your working space is set to the same, import the file without comment and interpret that file to give the correct colour rendering. However, if you try to import a file with a different profile you will be offered options to convert, temporarily assign or use existing profile providing you have set those options and PS will then use your choice to give the appropriate rendering.
Converting 'down' to sRGB would lose some of the information. My next step, after monitor calibration and setting the working space, was to set up the soft proofing Custom in PS to use the printer profile for the printer and paper I planned to use so that what I saw on the monitor is what the printer should produce.
This link may explain better than I can and the article contains further links re monitor profiling etc. Reading through all of these should give you a better idea of the profiling route you need to follow. You can also soft-proof within Qimage. If you are more of a geeky person and would prefer using the command prompt window to launch the tool, you are also covered.
