My old Lacie 21/108 still hits 110 plus cd/m2 when I use precal. First I set
the contrast at 100% then push the red gun to 100% and drop the green and
blue to achieve my target white point. Drop the contrast setting to my
desired luminance level and tweak the gain guns a little more. Right now the
Lacie is at 78% contrast measuring around 100cd/m2 -- so I still have quite
a bit of headroom to go brighter if need be.
As most of you are finding out the video card is a big factor. I use the
(now defunct) IMX TwinTurbo. Also some monitor's have a switch to change the
signal strength (video level) or something like that. Check out your
monitor. On the Lacie (Mitsubishi) the setting is under the second page of
the OSD. Need to hit the right arrow button and scroll down to select this
setting. Changing the video level setting can increase the brightness
significantly.
Yes, yes, yes I have been running this monitor for over three years every
day with no screen savers.
Who says you can't do this stuff?
