im trying to calibrate my samsung lcd hdmi tv. and i cant get it to work properly,i use lightroom 4 .i shoot raw ,and  everything looks darker when i post to internet,,ive contacted datacolor but never get answer to why it does this...also trying to get the spyder software to match what i see with my brother mfc-495cw printer from screen and my prints come out darker as well. dont know where to go now..

What OS/Computer are you using? What browser are you using?

Regarding prints coming out of Lightroom darker... that's the norm for many. Adobe added Print Adjustment sliders "Brightness" and "Contrast" just for this. You'll need to use the sliders for better output matching.

Express does not have an ambient light sensor, so does not assist you in adjusting your display brightness to match your ambient light. If everything looks darker elsewhere, your display is too bright, and you need to dim it.
