Got a new laptop recently and have a problem with the screen because when you view photographs they look overly bright and the whites are bleached and the colours dont look right. Now the same photo looks fine on my old laptop....i also 'think' the pictures dont look as sharp (although its hard to compare really) - Its just odd that my 7 year old laptop is giving a more lifelike/realistic results on the screen than my brand spanking new one!

Someone has suggested that the screen needs calibrating?...but i havent a clue how you do it...or even how i know what settings to put it on to make the photos looks more realistic and like the actual picture??

HELP !!!

Have a read of this

Laptop screens are notoriously bad for calibration.
