No matter how I calibrate my laptops monitor it never matches the correctness of my desktops crt screen. This is quite annoying because I can't design pixels with colors on my laptop because they are wildly off from what everyone else will see. Does anyone else have a problem like this, or even better, a solution? I'm getting really tired of having to switch to my desktop just to color things. Kills my work flow completely. Please help. :(

try Adobe Gamma (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc3ae61).

The problem with adobe gamma is that in conflicts with my Ati's visual setting, so if I have the catalyst control up(which is required to change my contrast) and I mess with adobe gamma, after saving and closing catalyst everything is messed up again.

This is the wrong section for this, the part of the forums is for actual art.
-
then try using the autostart/adobe gamma shorcut after booting the system up. sorry, I can't help further.

Personally I think you're screwed using a laptop screen for art even with corrections...
If you got a little money on your hands then you can get some hardware to correct it:

There's others out there, I forget the names...

Another, cheaper, but less nice way to solve the problem is to go for the lowest common configuration.
Configure both your laptop and your CRT to sRGB. You can probably even do this without using software,
by using the color menu on your screen settings, and resetting that to default or sRGB if that is indicated separately.
This will probably mean reducing the quality of colors on your CRT, but your laptop most likely will be able to handle it.
Most contemporary LCD screens are set by default to sRGB, so this will also help you ensure that your art will look the
same to most other computer users.

my bad I guess accurate color has nothing to do with art.

And neither does anatomy, doodles, and non-pixel work, right?

Don't be an asshole. The Pixel Art forum is for posting pixel art. It says that in the rules, the forum description, and if you check the threads in that forum, guess what, they are POSTS OF PIXEL ART.
You asked a question in the wrong section of the site, and LOTS of people STILL offered you all kinds of great responses. And YOU responded with a sarcastic one-liner. You are definitely getting a strike for this.
