Question

What is the best way to color calibrate my monitor?

Jul 14, 2016 6:33PM PDT

The Windows 10 color calibration feature isn't very helpful and while my monitor came pre-calibrated it is over a year old and should be adjusted.
Does anyone know of a way to calibrate it better (without having it sent in and done professionally?

I know about products like the one you described but I don't have enough money for one of those right now.

Without the calibration it will just be off. You can google research for other ideas.

The monitor's full model number is VP2770-LED

The link to the sites discription of the product is http://www.viewsonic.com/us/vp2770-led.html. And it does not have a color calibration utility I've checked... I find the built in Windows 10 calibration utility to difficult to use I would appreciate help or even point in the right direction for help (the company hasn't responded to emails).
