How do you adjust the contrast when you go through the windows default screen calibration, no matter how many times I go through the test just cant get rid of the screens haze, if I do it through NVIDIA I can get the screen test spot on with the link Chris shows, This was the problem I had when I first got the laptop, even my picture look hazy.

Thanks tourerjim I've solved calibration by ignoring it. Once upon a time, I had a device called a Huey or something. I checked the monitor every few months and made minor tweaks. But for years I've done nothing. My prints look like they should. So I went though the process at lagom <.> nl and at first made small changes to the brightness and contrast, but it all went off the rails at gamma. Look at the image below, and take a few steps back from your monitor such that you don't see the individual pixels or squint your eyes. In each of the vertical color bars, the lighter and darker bands should blend in at the height labeled "2.2", which is the gamma setting.
Ugh, I could not achieved what is bolded. Nope. There was some blending well below 2 for some color bands. To improve the blending, the gamma setting was off the rails and nothing looked good and even then the " bands should blend" were still nowhere near 2.2. My monitor is an ASUS VZ279H .. just bought it 3 or 4 months ago. Quite happy with it. So right now, it is back at default as show in you NVIDIA screen shot. Will see if I can connect to Chris's "quickgamma" site. EDIT: I found it and started to download the exe program, but since it seems to be in German, I aborted.
Clive Hi Tony would you let us know how you get on with the quickgamma

Tourerjim, older screens and laptops in general vary a lot according to viewing angle. Newer IPS monitors have a much wider acceptable viewing angle. Do the tests as you would normally view the monitor. Preferably looking on at right angles to the centre of the screen. Personally, I find the screen calibration test pages to be better for adjusting a monitor. Pictures can be useful though when testing printer output. If you Google "Printer test images" you will find lots of hits. If you choose to adjust contrast, brightness and gamma with the Nvidia panel then I would suggest the monitor is set to its factory default settings for brightness and contrast etc. Gamma can be tricky to adjust. As Pontiac1940 previously quoted for gamma test images like the one from Lagom: Look at the image below, and take a few steps back from your monitor such that you don't see the individual pixels or squint your eyes. In each of the vertical color bars, the lighter and darker bands should blend in at the height labeled "2.2", which is the gamma setting. If you find the Lagom gamma test difficult to use you can try this different test image: www.hellotech.com/guide/for/how-to-calibrate-monitor-windows-10Download image here: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Gamma_correction_test_picture.pngYou need to adjust gamma until the images blend in. Kind regards Chris Thanks Chris it was an old email I found from my old mate from when I first got my laptop and I was never that clued up at the time I found his instructions seem to work well but that's an interesting one to try out Chris thanks

Chris your second links broken. Also if your running NVIDIA Right Click Desktop and click on NVIDIA Control Panel and check the NVIDIA bullet and then using Chris link www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/all_tests.php is an easy way to test That sounds good as I do have NVIDIA graphics but I'm not quite sure how you use that link to test. I have an old Spyder 4 but it's not supported any more so starting to wonder how good my color management is - especially as I have two screens and they don't quite match. Tony I have a 17inch laptop with my own specs built into it and could never get the screen calibrated to my liking and some time a go friend of mine said to do screen calibration but skip through the contrast and adjust contrast in NVDIA, he also gave me the Lagon link at the time but said for best results use a picture from your camera that has lots of colours. I also remember he mentioned we all look at colour screens in different ways ether sitting angles or maybe you wear glasses which was the reason he said it's best using you own pictures.

Corfe Castle is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. One of my favourite castles to visit as I have a brother who lives not too far away - would have been there this year but things changed Have quite a few pics but never one from that viewpoint - great shot - where was it taken from? Tony Wife & I've have had holidays and day trips virtually every year in Swanage and as far back as our teenage years, We had a weeks holiday there back in September. Driving towards Swanage from Corfe just before you get to the 'Welcome To Swanage', on your right take the B3069 and after a short distance you will start to see Corfe Castle, look out for an opening on your right your see the wall turn into the entrance or park on the left, then from there continue to drive to the village and turn right with Scott Arms pub on your left, stop off for a pint and take your camera with you, the pub garden has most beautiful views off Corfe Castle.
