Hi guys. I'm Miguel Angel, from Spain. My first post here... First, thanks for this great forum and your C&C are welcome (sorry for my bad english ).
Recently i bought a colorimeter, Spyder2Express, and i'm trying ColorEyes Display Pro for calibrate my desktop monitor and my laptop. I have some doubts:
Desktop monitor (HP F1904, 19", 1280x1024, DVI, TN Pannel, 5 years old, not DDC) and Nvidia 7900GT (Windows XP SP3 as OS)
Environment for calibration: dark room, any light...
a) ICC V4 16 bits or ICC V2? For my understanding i think that ICC V4 is better...
White point target: D65, D50, Native White Point (recommended in program if i not have a DDC device, but i don't have this option in menu monitor) or measure with sensor... (i've used this option measuring with Spyder2 directly in screen monitor, and i set a 5600k value, X=0.3267, Y=0,3505) ; i set in luminance (120 cd/m2 by default).
c) Gamma: L* (recommended), Gamma 2.2 or Gamma 1.8? I set L*
d) Black point target: black rendering (relative or absolute, i set relative by default) and luminance or contrast ratio (i set luminance in minimum by default), and in
This test i perceive pattern in Step 2,3... (seems a good black point)
e) Precalibration: practically i don't touch any RGB value in my OSD monitor, because with 5600k, all sliders are in 0 position. If i set b)D65, i should to raise red slider and compensate blue and green... (i don't understand well this option... and i don't know if is better measuring in or set D65)
f) Finally profiling...
For Laptop, Asus FS3C, 15", only LCD Bright, i don't know what is different compared to my desktop monitor.... Surely, is only LCD Bright (not gains), but i don't have OSD... so i don't know how calibrate it.
Thanks for your support.
