Both monitors where calibrated with the same Spyder 3 Pro calibrator

The Dell monitor with sRGB profile selected, at 100% brightness, 50% contrast

Dell monitor with Adobe RGB profile, 30% Brightness

I will stick with the 30% brightness since its not straining my eyes and the colors are very similar between the two screens.

UPDATE

Final settings are here

-note-

Unfortunately I have borrowed my camera to someone else and I had to take pictures with my cellphone which sucks big time... the colors are completely different than those on the pics... anyways it's better than nothing.

First chance I will have, I will upload better quality pics.

Nice Stam that's a great comparison. So I guess the Spyder calibrator meets your approval. Do you see same thing I see on my RGB... the R2 maintains accurate color... the other monitor to me is missing a little color in areas like by the sun in that shot.

I am currently recalibrating with adobe RGB and 75% brightness (the previous was sRGB and 100% and it was too much) so hopefully I will get better colors, plus the cellphone couldn't handle the brightness of the Dell monitor...

Just a question,

Once the screen has been calibrated with spyder, have you tried to run some game and see how it behave?

I'm asking this becouse unless i leave the color control under AMD drivers, i get some flickering on games.

Same here set some Video color settings didn't lokk like i thought it should.. slight flickering too.

ok, I recalibrated both the laptop and the Dell monitor, the laptop achieved 245.52 cd/m^2 with dE=0.32 and the U2410 251.42 cd/m^2 with dE=0.02 (I created a custom profile)

The RGB LED is simply amazing (even though a bit reddish) and has nothing to be afraid of next to the U2410
