  1. seems like that, I will monitor what they will come up with in the future. Thanks for the suggestion @Radium_Angel
  2. Hmm, their support said that OLED screens are not officially supported :-(. Back to square one.
  3. Yes, that is the exact one I found as the most promising option... however I was not able to find any information/reviews that would convince me it really can work with and handle even screen like this one - does anyone have similar experience - successfully using SpyderX on an OLED laptop screen?
  4. Hello everyone, the short version of my question is - is there a way how to calibrate laptop OLED screen so it is at least remotely usable for editing of photos for print? The more detailed version follows My father is a professional photographer. He uses laptops to edit his photos since forever as he was always somehow able to mentally (= in his head ) compensate for the color accuracy between his screen and the final photos - may it be print in a magazine or print of photos on photographic paper or even large scale photos with big frames and photos for his books - he always did a few test prints and "calibrated his head" to adjust the photos as close as possible to his likings + for important prints there is always a pre-print adjustment made on calibrated displays. We recently picked up HP Spectre x360 13-inch laptop with an OLED screen and that's where all hell broke loose. The extreme vibrancy of the panel makes it impossible to imagine how the final print will look like. I tried everything I was able to google - disable the special display modes via HP utility, use the windows tool to calibrate the screen, disable HDR, use diferent color profiles with Photoshop, ... The best result I was able to reach is that the photo looks pretty close, if you first remove 30% of saturation when you first load the photo to PS . Doing that with every photo is problematic/time consuming/dangerous if you forget to change the saturation back once you are done with the editing, and dad sometimes needs to edit tenths to 100+ photos on the go when he is in countries and places where even access to electricity is a problem... trying to look for a profesional calibrated screen in Siera Leone... that won't work. So, my ultimate question is - is there a way how to somehow cancel out the vibrancy of the screen so it is workable without the final photos being washed out when printed? I've researched external calibration sonds/tools that should allow you to do that, but will they be effective even while dealing with an OLED screen? Are there any other workarounds - software or hardware - that he could use to make his life easier? Or will he really have to take his old laptop (with a washed out LCD screen that he is uset to) on his trips? Thanks for any suggestions!
