New Monitor Calibration Questions
2008-09-25 by Randy Hill
I just got a Dell 2408WFP Ultrasharp
LCD monitor.
It's real bright compared to my old
(4 years) Samsung 213T.
I have several
questions.
What monitor settings should I use
from its menu?
A friend who has an Ultrasharp has
his Brightness turn all the way down to Zero.
When I do this my prints look very
close to what the monitor displays. If I set it to 50% brightness the image
on the monitor looks much brighter the colors are not the
same.
The next question relates to the
'Preset Modes' on the monitor.
The choices
are:
Desktop
Multimedia
Game
sRGB
Warm
Cool
Custom.
Under Custon the RGB values are all
set to 100 FWIW.
Which mode do I
use?
I'm using a Spyder with OptiCal
v3.7
