The print provides feedback and if there is no good match, that feedback becomes meaningless at best and misleading at worst. The numbers matter a lot when you want the image on the screen to closely match your print, so there is a strong correlation between the two without such correlation it becomes difficult to do any meaningful editing. Your comments, while I know that they are not ment to be intepreted as such, can easily be interpreted by the reader as "anything goes", something that is absolutely not the case. I also advise to use 5000K for the monitor with gamma 2.2 (very important as well to compensate for the distortion caused by gamma encoding) and the use of SoLux 5000K bulbs.
I also emphasize that the brightness of the screen and print need to be matches as well, and I describe how to check for those matches. My article makes very clear that the color match I'm discussing is the one between the image on the screen and the print of the same image viewed in the digital darkroom lighting. And this doesn’t mean the numbers everyone agrees on is correct, but at least consistent. The numbers DO NOT MATTER unless you've got a group of really high end reference display systems in a collaborate group and everyone is expected to see the same results. All viewers were checked for color blindness and scored high in the FM100 hue test.Īnyone that tells you to calibrate to this CCT or that cd/m2 without having the print viewing conditions in mind, and based on this piece, the type of display technology isn't providing much useful in the advise. They saw colors on one display being much warmer than the other, the results of the differences of the match they made was between 3 and 13dE (76), the average for all users was a dE of 8! Mostly in the aStar. Both displays had quite different SPDs as one used CCFL, the other LED and the spectrum of the two are vastly different. Two displays were both calibrated using the same product to 5200K.
I don't think it's out for public consumption yet but in the piece, there's mention of an experiment where users were asked to match via a display using differing back light an image they are viewing in a booth. I just read a fascinating article by Abhijit Sarkar's recent submission to CIE regarding his work on Standard Observer. Next, the type of illuminate used in the panel will play a big role too.
As a print is illuminated by something, that plays a huge role so the value you enter into the software is going to vary. Next, the only value that makes any sense is the one that produces a color appearance that matches whatever you want to match (usually a print). For one, you can calibrate with instrument A, software package A and get one result, use the same instrument and package B and get another result. The CCT K value you calibrate to is all over the map. All my images look the same as on the Dell so I guess I got me a good enough monitor for photo editing. It's gamut after profiling with the Colormunki Display is a bit less than sRGB in blues, cyan and red but juts out beyond in greens and yellows. I also developed a lowered saturation complementary color purity gradient test on 3 layers inverting and changing blend modes to try to see any signs of the LG being a 6 bit and couldn't. I did the typical gradient tests and can't see any dithering or severe banding. Got tired of buying displays online hoping I'ld get one that came with a decent IPS panel and decided to try out the LG 27ea63v-p from my local Best Buy ($330). From what's been mentioned over at tftcentral some of the Asus and Dells you've listed come with 6 bit panels. Soneira of is how to detect whether some of these newer (and cheaper) sRGB gamut LED backlit displays have 8 bit or 6 bit +A-FRC panels. One thing I can't seem to get a thorough answer online even from Dr. We have the photobooth supplies and accessories you need.Your list of available IPS monitors I found helpful and reassuring and pretty much what I've found so far on my own after my Dell 2209WA developed distracting non-uniformity artifacts just a year after its 3 year warrantee expired.
