Hello to all of you!

I am not sure this is a right place ( photo forum) to ask this question but I try it here first. Time to time I am away from my main working computer and use my HP laptop to work on my fresshly taken pictures. I know I should wait untill I get home again and work on a big system but I am not. I want to see them and make some adjustment if need. I do have difficoulty to see a pictures in a right contrast as I got use to on my 22" monitor. What is a suitable angle my laptop screen should be set/tilted?
At a moment I have a tricky way to set it. I know good ppl here who and I know what a picture should looks like made by them. These ppl not make very dark or faded captures if you know what I mean, so I see their work and tilt a screen but this is just simply guessing.

( No, I don't have a manual for a laptop with me)

any advise would greatly help...thank you!

Scarse Project: Adjusting Your Monitor, 

Pay special attention to setting the Black Point and the White Point of the display. 

... and you don't want extra light directly (or reflected) on the display screen. 

You might even want to download the 2 reference images so that you fine tune those adjustments "in the field" -- that is, while not connected to the internet.

Thank you Martin it helped a little. Thou I can not change nothing on a screen by buttons but I can tilt a screen. I see a white points all 3, only see two of the black. Better then nothing.

Not much you can do. Laptops have tn tft's and these are bad for color work as they change depending on the angle of view, and also have bad blacks.

I prefer this calibration guide - bryce-alive.net/calibrate/

but you have to remember that lappie screens (just like most LCD / TFT monitors) are really narrow viewing angles, when I finally bought a LCD for my monitor it took me ages to find one with a high viewing angle and a colour balance I was happy with!
