Dear Chris
I had the same concerns when I started clibrating and profilling our
monitors. It's great thinking/hoping that the job was done right, but it
really would be comforting to have a visual method of final checking !
Was it Andrew Rodney or perhaps Bruce Fraser who suggested getting a Macbeth
ColorChecker card and comparing this (in a viewing booth) with the onscreen
digital file. It works for me, and I have to say that the colours of the
chart when compared with the screen are spot on...now I work with a little
more confidence!
Hope this helps
Richard

Someone mentioned a method using Optical. Can anyone point me to that?
