There are various programs from free and included in Windows XP on up to Windows 8. For Mac's, there are even more software products available. There are also various hardware calibration options but these tendtobe very expensive.
If you are using Windows, I might suggest a free program called f.lux. It recently went through a MAJOR upgrade. I first heard about it on Lifehacker before it was upgraded and absolutely hated it but the new and improved version is AWESOME!
Basically it adjusts your monitors to the current ambient light according to the time of day and your location. The First few days, I had to adjust it to my liking until my eyes adjusted but what I have now is a constant, natural looking screen and it would be difficult to tell the difference in a magazine versus looking at my old Gateway LCD.
NOTE: Calibration might take 2 to 3 minutes. Do not turn the product off during calibration.
Hi,
Dear User...
You can adjust the
brightness and contrast of your monitor to improve the readability of text and
to make digital pictures appear more like they'll look when printed.
To improve the results
when adjusting the brightness and contrast settings for your display, use
Display Color Calibration. (Display Color Calibration helps you adjust these
color settings and others.) For more information about calibrating your display
color in Windows,
see Calibrate your display.
The way you adjust
brightness and contrast varies and depends on your specific display.
•
Brightness and contrast buttons on the front of the monitor. Some monitors have brightness and contrast
controls on the front and use the standard symbols shown in the following
image.
•
On-screen menu. You can change the brightness and contrast settings for some
displays by using an on-screen menu, and then setting the brightness and
contrast in the resulting menu. Many times, you can view the on-screen menu by
pressing a button-possibly labeled Menu-on the front of the monitor.
Thanks....
