Can the x-rite colormunki be used to calibrate a Dell laptop screen?

[dpattinson]

Hi All,

I've just unpacked my Epson R800 after rescuing it from 3 years of storage (still appears to work fine - albeit on ordinary A4 paper, waiting on the photo paper to be delivered in Beijing).

I have seen many threads advising that for best results I should calibrate my monitor. I found some good reviews for the Colormunki product, however before I buy one - I'd like to know if anyone has used theirs to calibrate a Dell laptop screen? Do these devices typically support laptop screens? (I have a Dell D420)

I've never used a device like this before, and I'm a novice at color management, so I apologize if this is an egregiously naive question.

Thanks, David.

Hi David
I use a Colormunki to calibrate my screens and printers. Excellent product IMO.
I have sucessfully calibrated my Dell laptop screen, though it is not a D420.
Kind regards
