I've noticed lately that when I design a wall on my laptop (my main computer)
and then look at the finished walls on a school CPU, there are some really big
color differences, as well as strength of textures, etc. I realize that
different CPUs have different brightness and darkness settings, but is there
anything you can do about this? Is there is a standard brightness/darkness color
setting that I am not using maybe (I've never edited my settings before, so I
assume they're factory settings still). It's become challenging and troublesome
for my walls to look so different on different CPUs. Thanks!
ok the problem is not the cpu. the cpu determins how fast everthing you do on
the pc is procesed, the problem is probably has domething to do with the
diffrent drivers and screens between your laptop and your school pc, all it has
to do with is that diffrent screen(mointor) drivers use slightly diffrent colour
scheems or it bascially tells the os what coulours the screen can produce
better. it varies between screens, all you can realy do is when you put it on
the your school pc, you edit the wallpaper to the way you like
Alucard86ers has got it partially right.
Three major things effect your wallpaper.
One - The color palette setting in the
system. They don't call it palette, but that's what it is. This is
usually found in a display's control panel (under Control Panel:Display:Settings
on most windows machine). This tells you how many colors are being displayed at
one time. This can range between 16 (not common any more), 256, 16-bit, 24-bit,
& 32-bit. The higher the color palette, the more realistic your
wall.
Second - The monitor it self. Some
monitors have very rich color, others don't. Color output can be modified thru
most monitor settings: Brightness, Contrast, Hue, as well as the varing levels
of intensity for each color gun (Red, Green, Blue).
Third - Your room lights. If at home you
are creating your wall under an incadecent light (warm lighting), it will look
different when you are at school under a flourcent lighting (cool/warm lighting
[depends on the bulb they use]) Newer moniters have automatic settings to adjust
the color output to the type of outside surrounding light.
Yeah, beware the quality of your various monitors, I used to have a really old
gateway 2000 19" CRT monitor then I upgraded to two Mitsubishi 930sb1
19" monitors, I was totally blown away at the difference in brightness
between them. Over time CRT and LCD monitors get dimmer, CRTs because the
phosphers on the screen gradually burn out, LCDs because the backlight burns
out. Even the next generation LED backlit monitors will suffer from gradual
burnouts, LEDs last quite a while though so it shouldn't be as much of a
problem. Just keep in mind some monitors are brigher then others, and the age of
a monitor combined with how much time the monitor has been running makes a
difference. Just like freshBlue02 pointed out ambiant light can make a big
difference.
