<title>How do I calibrate my screen?</title>
26
Calibrating your screen is very easy to do and should be a hard
27
requirement if you're involved in computer design or artwork.
30
By using a device called colorimeter you accurately measure the
31
different colors that your screen is able to display.
32
By running <guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>
33
you can easily create a profile, and the wizard will show you how
34
to attach the colorimeter device and what settings to adjust.
39
Screens change all the time - the backlight in a TFT will half in
40
brightness approximately every 18 months, and will get yellower
42
This means you should recalibrate your screen when the [!] icon
43
appears in the color control panel.
46
LED screens also change over time, but a much slower rate than TFTs.
