Back in the Office.

The settings on my screen are:
Brightness: 38
Contrast: 72
Color Effect: Off
Color Tone: Custom
Gamma Mode: 1

I then use a Spyder Colorimeter to adjust the graphics card with settings of Temperature 6500K, Gamma 2.2.

The Spyder also allows me to measure and calibrate the RGB values. Interestingly they were R50,G50,B50 to start with. Over time they have changed with screen aging and are now R43,G40,B50.

In my experience, the only way to get consistent color management is use a calibrating device such as i1, Spyder, ColorMunki, etc. Even the colour of your wall can effect the result if you try and do it by eye.

I am traveling at the moment so do not have access to my screen. Will see if I can offer you more information on settings when I get back to the office in a couple of weeks.

Interesting results, I found the “canned” profile horrible….in fact the only color profile I ever set is sRGB that comes with Windows as I don’t use Adobe photo products….MS Digital Imaging Suite for JPEGS and Silkypix for RAW editing are my choices.

My issue with this monitor is I can never seem to set a gamma that works on the test and produces “realistic colors”.

I begin by setting my OSD controls as follows:
Brightness:(really black point on TN):27
Contrast: (really brightness): 75
Color: Normal (looks about 6500 to me)
Gamma Mode 1
I then adjust my grapichs card based on some “on screen tools” as follows:
Gamma Correction: +0.3
Brigthness: -14
Contrast: 80

Colors look correct, but fails gamma scan miserably…..any thoughts ?
