Image difference between Dell U2311H and other computers LCD and laptops!

hey guys im interested to see who has edited their photos in CS5 and Lightroom on a IPS display like my DELL U2311H, and then viewed that same image on another non IPS display and have two completely different results? from my experience most laptops and crt displays are too bright and when I edit on my U2311H and viewed on another display the images are too bright and lacked the warmth i wanted. Any ideas how i go about editing on my dell and when it comes to sharing on the web i can have the correct brightness and colors?

Well, I'd say that most of us are looking to adjust/calibrate our monitors so that they are more accurate for our photographs and then so that eventually we can get a print that will reasonably match our screen display. This means that the monitor brightness is adjusted so that whites look white but you can also see the variation of tones all the way to blacks. Most consumer monitors, as you have noted, tend to be too bright for good photographic use.

What I figure is that if my photo is properly adjusted then yeah on many monitors it might look a bit bright, but hey, I'd rather have it a bit bright than have it come across as too dark on monitors that are properly adjusted. And, I remember the days of coming home with prints that were just too dark -- that sucks.

Calibrate the screens & view color managed…
