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