Lenovo LT1421 color calibration?

BrianFinkel · 06-20-2012, 02:01 PM

I just purchased a Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421 USB display, which I have connected to a Lenovo X301 notebook running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I color-profiled the LT1421 using an X-Rite Eye-One Display 2 device and applied the new color profile using Windows 7 color management, but it makes no difference -- it looks like the color profile does nothing. I have calibrated lots of displays and have never seen this behavior before.

Is this supported? I need to use color matched displays in my work and will need to return this device if it cannot be calibrated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Anyone? Does the DisplayLink driver support color correction?

Thanks,

No - sorry, there is no color calibration support on this product.

Are you planning to add support for color profiles? This is a very important feature for many of us.

It is rather astonishing to learn that color management is not being implemented as a possibility with DisplayLink technology. Absent
color management, DisplayLink is useless to graphic arts, photographic,
and video applications where correct color is critical. It is hard to
imagine why anyone offering a product enabling multiple monitors as
a capability would so deeply cripple their potential market by not
offering ICC color management.

I just bought the Targus usb 3 docking station and the first thing I did was calibrate my screen. Imagine my surprise when nothing happened. After some error hunting I landed here. I'm astonished that color management isn't possible. I'm working with graphics and this is a real dealbreaker for me.

color calibration is very important thing.
Because if you reading documents - different monitors shows different white colors.
Please fix this. It's very bad for eyes...

Considering your short reply (I'm very disappointed), I'll immediately send back for refund the 4 monitors Lenovo LT1421 purchased, they are unuseful because of this serious lack into your software...
I STRONGLY INVITE ALL AFFECTED USERS TO NOTIFY THIS SERIOUS ISSUE TO USB MONITOR MANUFACTURERS LIKE LENOVO.
