I’ve had good success with a nVidia GTX 275, 4 under Windows when connected over HDMI to a Phillips LCD TV, where the higher bit depth videoLUT allows for smooth calibration results. Newer monitors/TVs may support higher than 8 bit input even when they don’t have internal hardware LUTs for calibration, depending on the specific monitor, the connection (DisplayPort or HDMI) and the graphics card that’s connected.

In my case, I use NEC SpectraView to calibrate my old NEC 2690WUXI’s 1D hardware LUTs, and then do a profile only run in Displa圜AL. set calibration whitepoint and tone curve to “As measured” in Displa圜AL and disable interactive display adjustment). It is usually possible though to use the software that comes with a monitor that has hardware LUTs to calibrate it, and then build a very accurate profile using Displa圜AL on top of the hardware calibration (i.e. that has internal 1D or 3D LUT support) if your aim is to use Displa圜AL for calibration – there is no standardized interface to their internal LUTs, so Displa圜AL cannot access them directly, and as a result, you’ll still have to rely on the graphics card gamma tables (videoLUT), which may be limited to 8 bits (although see paragraph below). Just a word of caution, don’t buy a hardware calibratable monitor (i.e. This reply was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by Steve Smith. Good calibration takes time…A lot of time… If you want fantastic results you need to let the software run for a while, at least 2-3 hours… It’s just reality…Accept it and be amazed! Are you kidding me? 4-6 minutes is your biggest problem of the day?!? They say that if you’re in a hurry choose number one…. One, you can do a quick run, or two, you can do a slower run which promises to produce a more sophisticated result… I timed each choice: (1) 4 minutes, and (2) 6 minutes. Spyder makes me laugh when they state in their software that you have two choices for calibrating. I never launch those other softwares anymore. I have done exhaustive experimentation over the past year and am now totally convinced that open source software like Displa圜al produce far superior results.

Sensitive colors such as skin-tones, skies, and other ‘known’ colors seem to pop like never before… They just look more true to real life. They know that good enough is sellable because the consumer will usually never compare the result to superior alternatives like Displa圜al. Since the consumer (and professional) never see a side by side comparison, they are unable to ‘see’ the difference between softwares… But if they did, each would pick Displa圜al’s result… It’s not even a maybe, it’s a fore sure! … I’ve seen it with my own critical eye (which doesn’t even need to be critical in this case) and I can’t believe that they’re getting away with it!Ĭolorimeter companies rely on this tactic. I wish I could sit people down and show them the difference… But that’s the rub. (Finer gradients and differentiated colors are what Displa圜al will do for you…Amazingly life-like, three dimensional photographs are the result. Other software only captures 50-450 patches… They simply are not comparable.

But really, it’s not!ĭispla圜al is capible of capturing thousands of color patches to create a color profile of your monitor. I am a Photographer who spends an inordinate amount of time in front of the computer analyzing and maliciously ‘tweaking’ the color (among other things) of my images… Colorimeter software only achieves the bare minimum of ‘acceptable’ results… Which I find it strange since they market it as a ‘professional’ product. In both cases Displa圜al brings a far Superior result!

It has become increasingly apparent to me that Displa圜al, properly configured, will always outperform the software that comes with colorimeters… I’ve used the Datacolor Spyder5 with the Spyder Elite software, and I’ve used the X-Rite i1 Display Pro with the iDisplay software.
