Thread: Calibrating the Macintosh screens

Hybrid View

    Two identical monitors are essential for doing this - sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised the amount of people use the TFT monitor provided with Catalyst and A.N.Other ACME monitor... This won't do, really.

    You know then that you are sending a perfect data signal to the projector or video wall processor, and you can show your projectionist or screen tech what you are after from them.

    he wanted the invert modes to invert - then subtract the colour.
    I took out the colours then inverted.
    i added new colour modes that do this.

    i dont think many people have experienced the problems with calibrating monitors for broadcast or accurate colour....
    tft's in general dont have anywhere near the colour response that people are used to from watching tv's.

    this is a psycho-perceptual issue, that is based on normal viewing conditions and distance to the monitors.

    we tend to use tv's in totally different environments to monitors.
    tv's more than 10ft - often in darkened conditions.
    monitors - 10 inches- in bright environments.
    the different viewing conditions mean that the screens are setup differently.

    they actually do experiments on these things, to determine the best setups for monitors in different viewing environments.
