Got a 4 on my non-calibrated Lenovo laptop 15.4" screen. I guess I can't complain about that.

Well that burned a good 5 minutes.

I scored a 7 on my un-calibrated dell lattitude. Quite suprized!

Will try this on my calibrated monitor in a few minutes.

I scored 15 and I am claiming eye stress and double vision. It's like looking at the sun for five minutes and juggling white balls afterward. In short, insane!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

I scored a 8 on a calibrated 22" piece of junk.

What a cool site! I got a 20 on an uncalibrated two year old 17" laptop. Never thought I had great color discrimination; here's proof...

Anyone have a site for help in calibrating monitors?

Thanks for the post Tomagado.

Got a 3 at first, then after another 2 tries got a 0 (couldn't live with anything less than a 0

).. callibrated apple 20in.

What's interesting is the first few times I kept on consistently mixing up the same teals, which actually makes sense since I've always had a weak spot with the cyan color channel, but have a lot of sensitivity to oranges.

I'm glad you're all getting a kick out of this, I thought it was rather fun and probably useful for testing calibrated monitors. I should note that I did my test on a calibrated apple display, probably a month after calibration.

And yes, it is indeed an eye killer, be warned!

Cheers,
Thomas

I got a "4" with my uncalibrated 22" HP. Before the test, I thought it wasn't that good and was thinking about getting it calibrated..:-)))

I don't think this should be taken as a test to show if you're calibrated or not, as nshupe said, you can be off evenly, so even thought the hues are in order, you will be shifted off from correct throughout.

Take it as a calibration method for your own eyes

Hmm... a perfect '0' on my uncalibrated 12.1" wide laptop!

Think it tells us more about our eyes than it does about the monitor ?

16 on an uncalibrated 4 year old ThinkPad. I will try it at home tomorrow on my calibrated desktop to see if I am any less blind.
