Monitor Calibration?
What's your experience with this?
Thanks.
Answers: Dr. Sam.
There are individual a few LCD monitors that can be calibrated successfully to game printer or lab output.
Apple, ViewSonic, Samsung, NEC, Sony and Dell are on the list ... BUT not adjectives models. For that reason, I am still using a Samsung and Sony Trintron CRT as my "calibrated" monitors for producing print in place image files.
Adobe used to provide a document of compatible monitors, but so far I have even so to see one listing LCD's. Perhaps you can write them and see which ones are recommended. Each time I hold used someones LCD to adjust levels or contrast, the resulting print have been a disaster.
You can calibrate a LCD monitor, but most aren't worth the time or hard work which is why I still use a Sony CRT monitor to do all my color corrections. Just consider Lacie who enjoy for years produced exceptional monitors for graphics/photography work. By what standard do they judge their up to date LCD monitors? Here is an excerpt from their own website "A perfect clash for graphics professionals, this 20” monitor is equipped with a uniformity-enhanced A-TW-IPS LCD panel, which deliver a CRT-grade 72% NTSC gamut, high brightness, and a strong contrast ratio of 700:1. "
If you own the space, and if your back isn't so desperate that you can't lift 50 pounds or more, after I would suggest a good elderly Lacie CRT monitor. Like my view camera, a CRT monitor is bulky and gross but it will get the duty done better than any modern sleeker solution and for half the price(sometimes more). By the process I should mention that Lacie LCD monitors do in reality come with their own color supervision software.
