Jebus: Looking for my Scooper; +218|6023|Belgium

Hey guys, I've been struggling with the color display of my screen for a long while now. On some sites/programs I can't even see the difference between colors which are clearly there (on other monitors).. I've tried all options on my screen myself, but I can't seem to find a fix.

Also, I've fiddled with pretty much every setting, but I can't seem to find a solid fix.. I can vaguely remember some wizard in catalyst (which took some time..) and changed the colors to my liking - but I can't seem to find it right now.

I'm using a Radeon HD 4650, with Catalyst Control Center (Catalyst™ Control Center 2009.0914.2131.36822)
Also, there's an option (in Dutch) "start ATI-Color managemant again", but it's grayed out

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I know it's crap.. But I really have no money man :p
Surely, there must be a way to make it look a bit less crappier?

Yes, but I couldn't find a nice 'balance'. I recalled the CC center having some wizard though...

Did the whole thing, made some changes. It really looks different now, and I have yet to decide if it looks like crap or not right now. It sure looks a lot darker, but when I change the contrast/brightness back up colors fade out

Thanks!

If you want the extreme solution, look into some photographic colour management hardware - http://spyder.datacolor.com/

More brightness, less contrast.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I think it looks okay now. Probably not perfect, but I guess there's no way to get that with my monitor atm. Thanks for the help all, karmaz coming your way
