Calibrated display

A calibrated display is a monitor that has been measured with a probe and adjusted so its brightness and color output are known to be accurate to a standard. Professional suites grade on calibrated reference monitors; a consumer laptop is the opposite — uncalibrated, usually too bright and slightly blue, often auto-adjusting behind your back. Until you own one, tame your screen’s worst habits and trust the scopes for anything that must be right.
