the new monitor is working but i was wondering if there is any software out there that i can use to properly calibrate it or would i have to do so manually?

Why make us guess so much?

What is the brand and model of your monitor?

The only way to properly calibrate a monitor is with a hardware calibration tool. I recommend Pantone Huey.

I have a Huey Pro and am very pleased with it. For such an inexpensive unit, it does a nice job.

i've been thinking of getting one but not at the moment.
was hoping for a decent software alternative of somekind but i have it mostly tuned to where the colors are very very similar to what my crt was doing before.
just that the brightness is a bit too much.
then again that could honestly be all the extra white space i'm staring at now.........

I have to rely on two bio orbs.

Yeah, but those get worse over time. And they're different from crotchety old man to crotchety old man. ;)

They sure do but a £1 spent on an optical correction device fix's this.
