La Cie Monitor Calibration Question

2008-04-10 by Ghi Stecyk

Hi,

I have just calibrated my monitor again today. Currently I'm still  
using a La Cie Electron 22 B4 CRT. During the profiling process I am  
asked to adjust the brightness until I'm able to see 4 different grey  
swatches shown in a window. even after I've set the brightness at it's  
highest the 4 swatches still appear as all solid black with no obvious  
scales of grey.

Is this the correct thing to do? I can't see any other way to do it  
other than setting the brightness to 100%. The monitor default is 30%,  
which results in a lousy, distorted profile.

In the end my monitor looks good with grey appearing about as neutral  
as possible (i'm on a Mac running Leopard and the interface looks  
silvery grey with no   warm/cool swings)
