Hi,
i have managed to get hold of a Spyder3Elite for a short time. i've never been 100% happy with the colour profile of my old NEC 24WMGX3 so want to try and get it perfect or close too for better artwork. i have set it all up and ran the Calibration with DisplayCAL3 the results are better but i am wondering what settings to set this to before i do another the calibration run. the Displaycal software makes you adjust it to 100 brightness, i understand why but using it at this level afterwards is dazzling and i wont be doing that.
the other options on the monitor setting are for standard -1 standard - 2, TEXT, sRGB, Photo, Game-1 Game-2 and Movie. from the looks of it the standard -2 or the sRGB seem the best but i am not sure which to set it too. i originally Reset the monitor to its factory settings and that defaults to the Standard - 1 setting + Nuclear brightness
there is also the consideration of the Nvidia graphic card colour settings. presently i have it set "other applications and control colour settings" but should i set it to "Use Nvidia settings" before i calibrate.
sorry to ask so many questions but im trying to get it correct and any advice from more knowledgeable or experienced people would be very helpful.
Cheers and thanks for your help
