NP7280 or NP7282? Two are different models.
Sager has evaluated color calibration many times in the past and has gone against pre-calibration every time.
Reasons:
1:
Color calibration should be done in the correct working environment, sager factory cannot simulate end customers lighting and shadow conditions.
2:
As laptop LCDs does not have the same luxury as a TV or a desktop monitor with access to color setting / service color setting. The calibration are done by software, since the changes are not stored by the screen firmware directly, the calibration setting may become null or incorrect due to device driver changes or OS overhaul changes from one major version to another.
3:
End-user has lack of access to recalibration when environment condition changes , and lack the capability to create multiple color profile in different usage locations or environment condition.
For the above reasons Sager firmly believes that Customers should make a small investment for a color calibration device for a more accurate color calibration, as well as access to more features that may be provided by the device.
However we understand that not all users would like to invests in such device, therefore starting next week. Sager will begin to provide monitor color profile at our support page located at custom gaming laptops - Welcome to Sager Notebooks these profiled are provided as a 2nd color option for customers to try with their system, as these are not calibrated at the users location, these file is to be used as is or use as a gauge when making further fine-tuning. Sager recommend customers to use the GPU control panel or windows color calibration provided by windows 7 (windows orb -> type in dccw.exe in the search / run box and enter) to make color adjustments to the users liking or to invest in a color calibration device for the best experience possible.
Color profiles will be added to sager support page as we create them in the coming week for the current and future models.
To load the downloaded color profiles without the need of a 3rd party tool please do the following.
You have two options in getting the profile loaded:
Option1:
Place the download file in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\
Click on the windows orb and input dccw.exe in the search / run box and press enter
Click next 4 times
To reach the brightness and contrast page.
Click skip brightness and contrast adjustment
Click next 2 times
Uncheck Start ClearType Tuner before clicking Finish.
This will create a generic windows color profile named “CalibratedDisplayProfile-1.icc” located in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\
You can now rename your download file to CalibratedDisplayProfile-1.icc and overwrite the windows generated file, and reboot.
Or you may use option 2:
Place the download file in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\
Click on the windows orb and fill in dccw.exe in the search / run box and press enter
Click next 4 times
To reach the brightness and contrast page.
Click skip brightness and contrast adjustment
Click next 2 times
Uncheck Start ClearType Tuner before clicking Finish.
Click on windows orb and fill in colorcpl.exe and press enter
Select the file you have downloaded and placed in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\
Click Set as Default Profile
Close and reboot.
Now you should have the color profile loaded without the need of a 3rd party profile loader.Source: Sager representative
