Calibrating Other Monitors
User Manual
page 32
LaCie blue eye pro also offers the possibility of calibrating other
monitors than the LaCie 300/500/700 Series, such as the LaCie
119 and 120. When the application is run on such a monitor,
the calibration process is manual. The software will guide you
through several steps that allow you to adjust Luminosity, Con-
trast, and individual RGB controls to set White Point Tempera-
ture and Gamma to your desired settings. The next chapter will
guide you through this process.
When you run LaCie blue eye pro on a dual-monitor system, the
software will automatically detect on which monitor the window
is located and will run the appropriate calibration process (au-
tomatic or manual).
CAUTION:
BEFORE BEGINNING
Before you begin to cali-
brate, ensure that the following conditions are met:
✦
Ensure that you have a copy of your monitor’s User Manual
for OSD (On-Screen Display) reference, and to help deter-
mine factory presets and configuration.
✦
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.
✦
Setup your work area in the way that you will use it after
calibrating and profiling. Room lighting has an effect 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.
✦
If your monitor’s OSD offers color adjustment mechanisms,
set them as close to your targeted workflow settings as pos-
sible before launching the LaCie blue eye software.
