Dell u2311h calibration

I was using this site to try to calibrate my monitor:

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

But on most of the tests, I can't actually get it to the correct setting. My dell seems good in games, however, in cutscenes and the like, I can sometimes see bad colours in certain areas. And I also see some times 'bands' of colour, it's not a smooth colour/shade transition if you get what I mean.

Are those problems due to calibration, and if so would people kindly post the settings they use on their monitor so I can fiddle about with it and make it better? Or even lend me their hardware calibration tool?

Thanks

Okay thanks for the replies

I'm not at home right now, but I'll try the icc profiles when I am home (in a couple of weeks)

A lot of people say that the monitor is too bright, I have brightness at around 70, but all those profiles have it at 30 :confused:

it doesn't look that bright to me.

Hi, I downloaded a profile for my u2311h, and tried to set it as the default profile, but nothing appears to have changed. Help?

Thanks

Windows 7 64bit.

In the end, I just checked what the settings were, and applied them manually

Not on my dell, no.
