From what I read, at the moment firefox with the option of gfx.color_management is the only browser can use the profile? And the photo viewer (in windows 10) can’t use it too? As when I comparing the photo side by side in photo viewer, and in Capture One/Lightroom I notice some slightly different. There are also the problems of some apps (in windows, as it is the most common OS) can’t use the calibrate profiles. I know that there are much more than just cover the RGB gamut, but with that result (with my limited knowledge) they all are able of displaying colors correctly right? so, to the point that I wondering if, if someone with limited budget consult me about which entry laptop he would buy, should I let him get a laptop with decent specs and a cheap screen, or focusing on laptop with better screen like macbook but lower specs?ģ. The result, after calibration all of them are able to cover 97-99% sRGB, and 66-70% aRGB. Out of curious, I also went through the trobles to calibrate the cheap monitors at my office, which is a HP something, cost around 90$ I think and some entry level laptop screens. U2412 is the one with the best result, the other U2314, dispite newer, are falling behind, but all of them while able to cover 99% of sRGB, only able to cover from 71 to 74.5% adobe RGB gamut. I thought dell U is good, but the result kind of suprised me. Last week I tried to calibrate some monitors for my friends, 3 of them infact, and all of them are Dell U, which one is U2412, and two U2314.Almost everyone say the Xrite 1Pro is more accurate than datacolor spyder instruments, but is the different big, enough to considering changing from my spyder 5 pro to it? I don’t have any worthy photo to print as fine art, just some normal landscape and portraits, and while I care about the quality, I doubt I would be able to print a great photo alone with my calibrated monitor, as the quality of the lab will be much more important.Hoch.īeen reading around on the internet and this site too, right now I am somewhat comfortable with displa圜al, but still have some questions in my mind. Thank for reading, any help and/or advises are appriciated.
But what confused me is, is there that much different from displa圜al and the software from Datacolor? Ofc I changed something here and there but the basic settings are still like this: 6500K white point, sRGB and gamma at 2.2.Īnd if anyone would be so kind to tell me what I need to do to calibrate laptop screen with displa圜al and spyder 5? I tried to follow the tutorials and wiki but not sure if I do it correctly or not … and do I need to calibrate monitors in a dark room? Comparing it with the BenQ it is somewhat close, and also close to the sRGB/enhanced profile of the surface itself. After 3 tries with various settings, I got a quite decent profile (I think …). Out of curious, I decided to buy a spyder 5 pro and try to calibrate my surface pro screen with Displa圜al. I am completely new in this and tbh, even after reading around on this very rich infos site, I still have no idea what is what … everything is like rocket science to me and my poor brain can’t process much. Please note here that I haven’t print any photo out yet so I don’t have any physical img to compare with the one on screen, and forgive me for don’t remember which data was off. Even so, with my naked eyes I still see it was a bit of green-ish and the white point looks kinda unnatural. The result looks about the same, with one chart still much higher than the rest, but the overall result, according to the software is at acceptable level so we left it as it is. As I was concerned with that, he tried another time and cover the monitor with a cloth. At the 1st try, while the result wasn’t too bad, I noticed some really high numbers in chart. His tool is Spyder 5 Elite, and he was using the datacolor software. On the BenQ the result is great and almost indentical to factory settings so I am happy with it, but on the surface screen it is another story. For that reason 2 weeks ago I hired a guy to do calibrating on my monitors, which is BenQ SW2700PT and this surface pro 2017. Photography is my hobby, and I want to print some photos out. This is my very first post here, 1st of all I would like to thank the developers and many others involved with this wonderful software.
