Screen Calibration

[mattyg]

AArrrgh I've got brain ache..

I was about to hit go on a Spyder4 then read a couple of threads saying its not actually that good....Admittedly after reading many that it is.

Any suggestions...Apart from stop reading reviews

Currently got a NEC 24" and a Samsung 21" but will be upgrading the Samsung to a Dell 27" and poss the NEC in the new year.


Cheers

Ive ordered a Spyder4Elite to go with my Wacom Intuos pro.

At least I'll be able to attempt to polish S*** if my photography still sucks

Just done my 2 screens.

Wow what a difference. Didn't realize how yellow my B/W shots where.

Its going to take some getting used to mind, As the screen looks a bit shouty now.

All good though

Don't know why but the brightness was set to calibrate at 180.

Will redo at the recommended 120

That should help it be less shouty...

You done it during the day, didn't you?

No
No
No
ok Yes

I have now re calibrated and have two profiles one day one night. They still look different though.

I've also just calibrated the two monitors so they should be very similar using studio smart(?) but they look completely different.

I guess trying to get 2 different monitors from two different manufacturers to look the same "May" be difficult...
