5. Calibrating LaCie 300/500/700 Series Monitors
CAUTION:
BEFORE BEGINNING
✦
Make sure that your monitor has been powered on for
at least one hour. This ensures that the monitor has had
enough time to warm up and stabilize.
✦
Disable any screen savers.
✦
Delete or disable any competing profile programs you may
have installed. These programs could compete for control
of the display, and it is important that only one program is
running at a time.
✦
If another profile program is installed and it has a startup
utility that is used at your computer’s boot time, this pro-
gram will need to be deleted.
✦
Set up your work area as you will use it after calibrating and
profiling. Room lighting has an affect on the appearance of
screen images.
✦
Tilt the monitor upwards 10° (with the axis measuring from
the horizontal length of the bottom of the monitor). This
helps to prevent unwanted light from affecting the results.
