The manual is similarly unhelpful: “The higher the gamma value, the darker the image becomes. #6 Gamma (monitor setting) – The monitor has three Gamma modes, unhelpfully labeled 1,2,3. #5 Contrast (monitor setting) – current setting is 70, but the guide suggests resetting it to factory default: “The Displa圜al forums are filled with people saying that you need to leave contrast at default or you run the risk of clipping whites and/or blacks at a hardware level and the screen performance will be far less than what it is capable of when you are through calibration.” Uncalibrated report gives: Contrast ratio = 541: The guide suggests, “Always use Gamma 2.2 here.” #4 Tone Curve – previous setting was sRGB. #3 White level – the same guide linked above says, “90cd is pretty dark for my liking, but is that value that is recommended to start with if you goal is to softproof for printing.” Uncalibrated report gives 215.55 cd/m2 at a monitor brightness setting of 80. #2 Whitepoint – currently set to As Measured, which the uncalibrated report gives as:ġ6:52:32,061 White chromaticity coordinates 0.3149, 0.3307ġ6:52:32,061 White Correlated Color Temperature = 6373K, DE 2K to locus = 4.3ġ6:52:32,061 White Correlated Daylight Temperature = 6375K, DE 2K to locus = 0.5ġ6:52:32,061 White Visual Color Temperature = 6229K, DE 2K to locus = 4.1ġ6:52:32,061 White Visual Daylight Temperature = 6392K, DE 2K to locus = 0.5īut I’ve read in this guide that “The whites on your screen will look a little warmer at 5,000 and it is the setting to use if you want to softproof for printing.” Is this true? (I’m a VFX guy, I don’t do a lot of print work.) The options are mostly Intelli Proof variants that don’t seem relevant, but one – Spyder 3 & Wide Gamut S-IPS (generic) – seems like it would be more correct. From the “display tech” info bubble & the display specs above, it appears that this monitor is 95% P3, and so should be considered “LCD PFS WLED”, yes? The Correction drop-down comes up with Auto (None) selected. #1 (and most important?) is the Correction drop-down on the Display tab. The Displa圜al options can be a little overwhelming, so I’m hoping to get a sanity check here. My previous calibration looked pretty good to me, but was done a couple years ago, and now I need to soft-proof some photos for printing. I’ve got an LG 32UN650-W, and am re-calibrating it with Displa圜al 3.8.9.3 and an old Spyder3 Express.
