How to calibrate a notebook LCD?

[sammypetter]

I had to get a new laptop and the screen doesn't look right. I have no knowledge on calibrating a LED LCD, or any other monitor for that matter. So, before I mess anything up I would like to know if anyone has done this before and if it's reversible?

I have a laptop with a 17.3" HD + LED LCD display running Windows 7. Generic PnP Monitor on Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset. I can get to the calibrate display settings but kind of don't want to mess anything up.

My photo's look very different on other monitors. I don't want to post washed out looking photos that I have taken the time to edit. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If it's Windows 7 settings then you can normally change settings if they don't work, normally your BIOS settings can be changed but I would first check with the manufacturer of the laptop.

I do have a link to an online monitor test you can do, shouldn't harm your system-
