Depending on the liquid crystals in the LCD display to block the light - not the ideal way to accomplish this. This will tend to reduce your contrast ratio, might reduce the color repeatability of your profile, and should only be used sparingly.A3: Refer to the instructions for increasing your print illumination (below).A4: Buy a profiling software package that can make use of your computer's graphics card to reduce the brightness beyond what the monitor's controls can do. Most monitor profiling software has you turning down the brightness at the monitor, and they depend on you being successful at doing that. The rest of the calibration procedure determines the color adjustments that are made in the graphics card. There are only a very few that can lower the curves in the graphics card in order to reduce your brightness. ColorEyes Display Pro, and the MeasureTool module of GretagMacbeth's ProfileMaker suite will do this. ProfileMakerThe ProfileMaker suite, while very good, is a bit of an overkill for someone just wanting to get their screen looking good. ColorEyes Display ProColorEyes Display Pro is available as software-only, which is handy for those who already have a colorimeter device - although still a bit of a shock for someone who thought they had this color stuff all figured out until they bought their latest new LCD display. ShadesShadesI mention this as an option rather than a recommendation. This is a quick little plugin, available on Mac only, that will reduce the levels in your graphics card evenly. Since your profiling software forcibly resets your graphics curves to "neutral" when it begins its process, you can't use Shades before profiling and expect it to result in anything usable in the end. Also, using Shades after the calibration effectively eliminates the accuracy of the profile, since it alters the graphics card curves. However, for those for whom color accuracy is not as important as brightness, this program might be used with success if you don't take it too far.Editor's note:The successor to ProfileMaker, i1Profiler, also is capable of using the graphics card to reduce brightness. In addition, a new software from Germany basICColor Display can do the same. Watch out for bandingAnother wrinkle to worry about while you're reducing your brightness on your display is that it will make banding more likely. When you let your video card handle the color adjustments without asking it to

Home> Displays LG 29EA93—Color Quality and Color Gamut Out of the box, there is no sRGB mode for the LG 29EA93 to use, so I went with the Standard mode for the default testing. As always, I try to aim for a D65 white point, 2.2 gamma, and 200 nits of light output. All measurements are done using ColorEyes Display Pro, and using a NIST certified i1Pro spectrometer. Just as expected, the 29EA93 is nothing to write home about straight out of the box. The dE average is just over 7, and the white error is very high as well. Without a pre-calibrated preset this is what I’d expect to see and so this isn’t really a surprise at all. After a calibration, the LA 29EA93 fares much better. The average dE drops to a very respectable 1.61, and has a very low median dE of 1.33 as well. The main errors that are present are those that are hard for all displays to reproduce, such as certain blues, so this is a very nice calibrated result in the end for the LG. When set to 100 nits that is more likely to be used for print media applications, the 29EA93 continues to have very nice calibrated results. The grayscale is nice and neutral, the colors are mostly accurate, and the resulting image is very nice on screen. Once calibrated the, LG 29EA93 produces an image that can keep up with the other IPS monitors out there. The one area that is does fall a bit short is in color gamut. It only covers 74% of the AdobeRGB gamut, which leaves it just a little short of the whole sRGB gamut. This little bit might not matter much in regular use, but it might matter more to those that are considering using it for color critical work.

소프트웨어 캘리브레이션 vs 하드웨어 캘리브레이션이라 하면 보통 어도비 감마(adobe gamma)와 같은 소프트웨어 및 시각 기반의 모니터 캘리브레이션 vs 센서를 사용한 캘리브레이션으로 오해할 수 있습니다.이는 시각 기반 캘리브레이션 vs 계측 기반 캘리브레이션으로 용어 정리가 되야 할 듯 합니다.오늘의 포스팅인 소프트웨어 캘리브레이션 vs 하드웨어 캘리브레이션은 둘다 센서를 통한 계측을 기반으로 하는 캘리브레이션입니다.(시각 기반 캘리브레이션은 LCD 디스플레이가 주류인 현시대에서 거의 사장되었습니다.)Software-based Calibration캘리브레이션은 모니터의 특성을 특정한 상태(예를들어 색온도 6500k 및 감마 2.2)로 교정하는 것을 말합니다.모니터 캘리브레이션은 그라데이션 특성과 색온도 및 감마값과 관계있는 휘도 특성까지 특정상태로 교정하는데요. 문제는 이러한 교정치를 모니터 하드웨어에서 완벽히 반영하는 모니터가 거의 없다는 것입니다.대부분의 캘리브레이션 솔루션들은 모니터가 재현하는 색상을 계측센서가 읽은 뒤 차이나는 값 만큼을 그래픽카드의 출력신호를 조절하여 최종적으로 모니터에서 정확한 색상이 나오도록 하는 방법을 사용합니다.다시말해 캘리브레이션을 통한 교정치를 그래픽카드(더 정확히는 그래픽카드의 LUT)에 반영하며, 모니터로 출력되는 신호값의 조정을 통해 캘리브레이션의 효과를 얻습니다.Software Calibration 방식의 모니터 캘리브레이션 소프트웨어- 스파이더 번들 소프트웨어 (스파이더 사면 기본 제공되는 소프트웨어)- 휴이,아이원,컬러멍키 등에서 제공되는 컬러매치 등의 소프트웨어 (제품 사면 기본으로 들어있는 소프트웨어)- BasICColor Display 4 (독일산 Thirdparty 캘리브레이션 소프트웨어, www.basiccolor.de)- ColorEyes Display PRO (미국산 Thirdparty 캘리브레이션 소프트웨어, www.integrated-color.com)그런데 이렇게 그래픽카드를 기반으로 조정을 하게 되면 그레이스케일 재현에 있어 밴딩 혹은 톤점프(tone jump)와 같은 현상이 발생하거나 RGB 하나 또는 복수의 채널에서 컬러 치우침(color cast) 현상이 발생할 수 있습니다.(EIZO Desktop Color Handbook에서 발췌)위의 그림에서 도표와 같이 어떤 모니터를 캘리브레이션하기 위해 Red는 15만큼, Green은 25만큼 조정을 했다면, 캘리브레이션 후 Red는 240단계 내에서, Green은 230단계 내에서 표현이 됩니다. 물리적인 단계(step)가 줄어드는 것은 아니고 채널당 8bit, 256단계를 기준으로 하는 그래픽카드의 8bit LUT(참조테이블) 에서 해당 채널의 표현 가능한 범위가 줄기 때문에 그레이스케일 등의 표현에 있어 밴딩이 발생할 가능성이 많아지는 것입니다.(쉽게 말해 Green 230step을 256step으로 나누어 표현해야 하니 분명 몇 단계는 동일한 계단이 되겠지요.)이러한 문제는 저품질 패널일 경우, 다시말해 디폴트(default) 상태가 목표값(색온도 6500k, 감마2.2)에서 상당히 벗어난 모니터인 경우 증상이 심해질 수 있습니다.고품질 패널이고 디폴트 상태도 목표값에서 많이 벗어나지 않는 경우는 소프트웨어 기반의 캘리브레이션을 해도 상대적으로 큰 문제가 없습니다.

Click here to see the original in its original context. Email colornews(at)chromix.com to subscribe to the ColorNews newsletter.First off, I have a confession to make. The real title of this article is "My Monitor is Too Bright". But we've had a lot of articles on monitors recently and, given that we've had so many articles on monitors recently, you'd think we'd have exhausted the subject. However, judging by the volume of questions we get on this topic, it seems to be a hot button for many people right now. We have dealt with the general subject of how to get the display to match the printer output in other ColorNews articles. Monitor_to_Print_MatchingPrinter_to_Match_my_ScreenBut an increasing number of people are reporting problems with density and, specifically, that their printer is too dark compared to their screen. This article suggests reasons why that might be happening and what you can do about it.We have a service called ColorValet where we make custom-made printer profiles. Occasionally a customer will call up and report that the profile is too dark. Upon deeper investigation, we find that the user is comparing the print to their display, and their display is a newer LCD (and perhaps recently purchased.) Perhaps the customer has confidence that the display is accurate because they have calibrated it with a colorimeter.If you were that customer, you would have good reason to assume that what you see on your screen is accurate. If you get a new printer profile from CHROMiX and, when you use it, your printer prints out prints that are too dark, it's natural to assume that there's something wrong with the profile.Well now hold on a minute. White of display should match the white of paperWithout even printing anything you can see if your printer will ever be able to look like the display: Check
