Hi! First of all, I am new to all of this. My goal is just to calibrate my laptops (current and upcoming). I plan to buy i1Display PRO and hook it up with some software to do the calibrations. My initial idea was to use the (then) reasonably priced Calman RGB. Unfortunatley they discontinued it...

Okay, so a couple of months ago I decided to replace the terrible 768p TN panel in my ASUS laptop with a much better IPS 1080p panel, and it looks great, except for one slight detail. With some colors, notably orange and cyan hues, there's these weird horizontal lines that are usually a lighter...

I have a frustrating problem with my HDMI connections that seems rather illogical. Some of my devices will connect to my TV ok, and some won't. DisplayA: cheap old LCD TV branded "Andersson". DisplayB: cheap old LCD TV (sligtly larger) branded "Finlux". I guess it's actually the same brand as...

Dear AVS Community For about a year now, I’ve been trying to fix an issue I have with my home cinema and I am now hoping to find some help here because I have exhausted my means. The issue is that whenever I play a video from my laptop using a projector, I get irregular lag (not FPS-related...

I have an Asus N53T series laptop. When I view the screen from a below angle, the darker colors appear "solarized" and I lose shadow detail. For instance, the color "black" appears lighter than "dark grey." I don't know the exact RGB values at which the colors clip, although, the color white...

Hi Everyone, A question for the far more experienced (than I am) audio members ... I have a sony Vaio Lap Top (running Windows 8.1) connected by HDMI to a NAD T757 Receiver . I can't select "enhanced stereo" in listening mode when the LAPTOP is the source. I also have a BluRay player, Bell...

Some titles I can buy, download and watch on the laptop in iTunes in HD, which is my goal. Many other titles when I try to buy, iTunes says "This cannot be played in HD...

Hi! I recently got the old speakers from my grandfather, they are two beautiful B&W DM7's. Now I want to connect them, if possible in some way, to my laptop. Is there anyone who knows what I need to connect them? I added some pictures so it'll be easier to see

Hi!! I have a conundrum that is making me think. I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series laptop with a 720p display (probably alright; not a photo editor). It has a program called True Color preinstalled. It has profiles similar to a TV display menu you would find when calibrating. Is this...

Hey guys, I've been interested in buying a laptop computer that can play some of the newer computer games for a decent price. I was looking for some input on a good laptop for the $1000 price range, not ballpark. I'm interested in buying the computer, not building it as I have absolutely no...
