Calibration tool?

I want to calibrate my screen, but don't have a clue how to do it. Is there a certain program that will do this, or another way it needs to be done. I am now very techy savy, so looking for information to get it done correctly, but something that I will be able to do and/or follow. Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

You will need a calibrating device like a Color Munki or a Syder.

If you are serious, you will need a hardware based solution like Color Munki or Spyder. Check E-bay for good deals.

Drop by the UHH section Printers and Color Printing Forum at http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-120-1.html for more discussions on monitor calibration.

My printing partner owns a ColorMunki Smile monitor calibration device for her PC associated with our Canon Pro-100 color printer. We are please with the color match of our prints to that monitor.

I just purchased a DataColor Spyder5Pro monitor calibration device (on sale) for my editing PC and my laptop: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-422086-1.html

I calibrate my monitor in a minimally illuminated room, so the ambient light does not effect the readings of my device, which could possibly influence the calibration of my monitor.
Editing can be accomplished in any room illumination.
