I have recently bought myself a new monitor, now I'd had my previous screen well over 5 years now so I'm looking at this one thinking the picture doesn't quite look right (not bad, just different). Rather than just wait until I'm used to the new picture I'd rather get it fine tuned, then get used to it - so I can reap the maximum benefit.
So, can you please suggest reliable ways of configuring an LCD monitor's brightness/contrast/colour/etc to provide the optimum possibly quality image?
After some further investigation I found what I think was quite a useful set of test images, with useful explanations of how to use each one, here - http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
And it seems that I'd missed some similar questions here by not using the keyword calibration. So here's some that I feel provided useful discussion:
Monitor Calibration Tools and Software
Should I be worried about calibrating a monitor
Unless anyone else has something they'd like to add in the next few days or so, I'll tick this answer off to complete the question.
You're looking for monitor calibration. Getting a hardware calibration device would be optimal, but there are websites out there that can help you with manual calibration via various test images.
