Before forking out 400 or so on a calibrator, i would like to try one and see if its even worth getting on my LCD, just wondering if anyone can loan me one.
I'll pay postage to and from my house, i've got feedback from ocau / head-fi / and ebay if needed.

if your monitor is over 3-4 years old it is not worth the expence.........

no its a fairly new lcd but its very bright and hard to get a correct color on it with adobe gamma

If you feel that the standard colour is off enough (likely with all monitors) that you need to play with Adobe Gamma then a hardware calibration solution is the way to go. It is worth it.
The only question which then remains is which one.
Cheers

Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards. I cant loan it to you since it is the uni's calibrator but you can certainly use it.
PM me with a date and time convenient for you. It takes about 10 mins to calibrate.
