3.4 Presetting the monitor hardware
This section explains how to prepare the monitor hardware manually.
Depending on the type of monitor (LCD or CRT), the process differ.
Because flat screens (LCDs) are using a different technology it’s not
necessary or possible to set up the same parameters for LCDs as for
CRTs.
You can skip some of the steps necessary to prepare a CRT’s hardware.
Click <Next> to go on with the next step.
3.4.1 Brightness (CRTs only)
Click <Measure> to adjust the brightness of your monitor. A new window
with a black measurement patch will pop up. Before you start to measure,
please set the contrast of the monitor to maximum (100%) via the OSD of
your monitor. Brightness should be set to minimum (0%) or to a level, that
allows you to see something on your screen.
If the black measurement patch looks gray, then brightness is too high.
After this rough pre adjustment, position the measurement device on the
monitor and start the measurement by clicking
<Measure> .
SpectraView Profiler now measures a few patches in a loop. While
measuring, please adjust the brightness of your monitor in the OSD until
the indicators on the right side of the window are within the green area of
the diagram.
After a few rounds of measurements the process will stop automati-
cally. Restart the measurement if you are not satisfied with the final
result. Otherwise click
<Close> and you will be guided back to the main
window.
Check if the indicators are in the green area of the diagram.
Through this adjustment you will get good reproduction of
the black tints on your monitor.
