How to use these pages

  1. Sep 20, 2018 Well, the simplest answer is that monitors and printers see colors differently. In other words, they use different color models to produce the same hues. Monitors combine red, green, and blue (RGB).

With the first few test images, you can calibrate your monitor by adjustingthe brightness, contrast, clock/phase, sharpness, and gamma settings of themonitor. I recommend to go through them in the order they are presented. Ifyou use this page in a shop, don't assume that the contrast and othersettings are at reasonable values before making a judgement. The images arebest viewed in a dim or dark environment and in full-screen mode. In mostbrowsers, F11 switches to full-screen mode. If switching off the lights isnot possible, try using a piece of cardboard to shield environmental light.

If you have any kind of color management system active in your operating system or video-card driver, then disable that first. First make adjustmentsto the monitor settings to let it behave as close to the ideal as possible,and only after that you can use the color management to compensate for anysmall deviations that remain.

Actually, calibration is not really the correct term. Calibratinga monitor would mean that you measure the response of the monitor and thencompensate for non-ideal behavior elsewhere, for example in the video-carddriver. Here, you are supposed to change the properties of the monitoritself to let it approach the ideal better. But then, who cares whether youcall it monitor adjustment or monitor calibration...
