Monitor hardware calibration and monitor profiling.

However after calibrating it with my Spyder 4 Pro, the greyscale test was chopped, so I returned to the factory settings.Īfter some time the IPS display will change its characteristic and you will probably need to buy or borrow a good calibrator. Otherwise you will see color strips.Īll these test charsts my CS240 displays correctly. If the gamma characteristic of your monitor is 2,2 you will see two grascale tones. Grayscale test - shows how greyscale tones are reproduced by your monitor (the more smooth, the better):įRC test - on a 6 bit panels these images will probably flicker:Īnd the finally the gamma tester. To test you current monitor I recommend you to use those test charts (don't display it on the webbrowser - download on your comp, display it 1:1)

More expensive monitors have polarization film that makes the blacks more black. But this is normal in IPS and this is not a problem for me. The disadvantage of this monitor and almost all monitors with IPS display is that it doesn't display absolute black tones. I have heard that I1 display pro is the minimum for good calibration. For example sRGB calibration with Spyder is significantly worse than the factory settings. I own Spyder 4 pro and it does not calibrate well darker tones. To calibrate this monitor you will need a rather decent calibrator. The next advantage is that you can easly calibrate it for desired color space using free software color navigator. It is factory calibrated monitor for sRGB and you will probably use it for 99% of the time.

The biggest advantage for you will be a full 8 bit matrix without FRC in sRGB mode (simply without flickering in some colors. It means that if you dim the monitor, you will probably not see any flickering, which may be visible in cheaper monitors.

However if you can spend more money, CS240 IMHO will be a better choise.įor me the biggest advantage of this monitor is a high frequency LED light flickering. It is sRGB monitor and will cover 99% of rec. If you produce 8-bit video you will probably not use all the possibilities of this monitor.
