Is it possible to colour calibrate a laptop screen?

[haagen_dazs]

hi all
i have a question about calibration of a laptop screen.
i know that i am able to change the R G B values on a desktop monitor during calibration.
i dont recall being able to do that on a laptop.

is it possible to calibrate a laptop screen?

thanks

AFAIK there shouldn't be a problem calibrating a laptop screen.

I use a Spyder2express to calibrate both my desktop monitor and laptop screen. During calibration the software asks what controls I have on my monitor (brightness, contrast) and then asks me to set everything to factory default.

I used the ColorSync utility on my Mac. My prints look exactly like the screen, so I guess it's good enough.
