<title>How do I calibrate my screen?</title>
21
Calibrating your screen is very easy to do and should be a hard
22
requirement if you're involved in computer design or artwork.
25
By using a device called colorimeter you accurately measure the
26
different colors that your screen is able to display.
27
By running <guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>
28
you can easily create a profile, and the wizard will show you how
29
to attach the colorimeter device and what settings to adjust.
34
Screens change all the time - the backlight in a TFT will half in
35
brightness approximately every 18 months, and will get yellower
37
This means you should recalibrate your screen when the [!] icon
38
appears in the color control panel.
41
LED screens also change over time, but a much slower rate than TFTs.
