nvidia, vista, and monitor calibration

[destrekor]

I remember in the forceware drivers for XP, you could calibrate your monitor. It was done through the driver, in which after setting brightness and gamma (could have been contrast), it goes on to adjust RGB, through three bars that also acted as sliders, sliding until it matched.

I cannot seem to find this in the Vista driver CP. Its no different, but I have it on the advanced setting, and cannot find it. Its gone? Is it because its the 158.45 beta, instead of WHQL?

hmm

if anyone can take a look at that, and help me determine if its an option that is missing, or am I just blind?

thanks

RGB controls are under video & Television settings.

I highly recommend investing in a hardware monitor calibrator. I didn't think I would need one but it makes quite a different from a software calibrated one. I am a wedding photographer so I had to get one a few years ago but I am glad that I did.

I have no need for something as fancy as that. Now, my LCD TV I had calibrated by a professional, but for my monitor... nothing fancy. It's only a 17" LCD, 1280x1024. nothing fancy at all.
a calibrator would cost probably what this thing is worth these days, if not more.

Here are some sites that might have something you could use:Monitor Calibration Wizard

anyone? I really just want to use the included nVidia tool, because I know its extremely easy to use and I have grown used to the settings.
