I can’t, as then I’d have to re-calibrate it again. But you can easily just increase the contrast setting on your monitor and leave sensible defaults for the rest of us :)


the shitty tn panels my workplace gives us are already maxed out in that regard. I needed to juice them in order to view a logon form.


And that’s why I replace all the panels on my laptops with proper ones, and only use monitors with good contrast ratios.

As low-budget option I can recommend the Fujitsu Siemens P17-2, it’s from 2004, available used around 20 € and has better contrast, brightness, and viewing angles than any TN panel even today.

It’s ridiculous that a monitor from 2004 is still better than anything the complainers in this thread are using today.


I'll bear that in mind but I'm not buying stuff for the office. My home equipment is all dell ultrasharps and they look pretty nice.
