My stock Dell LCD monitor for my desktop and my HP laptop monitors show different levels of brightness after being calibrated with the Pantone Huey tool.
XP on desktop, Vista on laptop, desktop = older tech, laptop = newer tech.
Thoughts?
Help???!!!

First, did you follow all the instructions (contrast & brightness settings). Second, no two monitors will be the same - even when the same make and model. Third, every model has their own specifications and levels - some are brighter than others. Forth, most laptops screens are not good for photography and still others will not calibrate correctly. And lastly, if you calibrated them correctly and followed all the instructions there really isn't much more that can be done.
