Hello,
i am a Photographer and I want to calibrate and profile a NEC PA-242W and a Macbook Pro Retina using the retail Version of the Xrite i1 Display Pro Colorimeter. When i calibrate to a D65 Target Whitepoint the NEC Display looks very greenish to me. I am guessing that's because the retail Version of the iOne Display Pro does not have the corrections for wide gamut Displays when using it with SpectraViewII. Or maybe because i am just used to Macbook Displays and they tend to have a magenta cast?
Anyway, I have tried to set a custom whitepoint in CIE coordinates that visually comes close to a neutral white in SpectraView II. Is that okay to do or can i run into problems when i go for prints? I don't really know what those corrections do, but it's more than just a shift in whitepoints, right?
Alternatively i could calibrate and profile using dispcalgui and use either the factory corrections from Xrite (Spectral: RGBLED HP SOYO <RGBLEDFamily_07Feb11.ccss) or a file from their database (Spectral: NEC PA242W (X-Rite i1 Pro 2) by vitavision.pl) as Corrections and adjust the NEC to a whitepoint/brightness setting manually using the OSD.
What would you recommend?
Also, when i connect the NEC Display it runs in 30bit Mode. And the default LUT in OSX is also 10bit/channel.. has anyone already tried to use Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro Retina and see if it is possible to Output in 10bit in Photoshop?
Thanks!
