I was giving advice to friend who is about to profile his Cinema Display
for the first time with the EyeOne package, when I began to question what
I was telling him.
D65 and 2.2 gamma are the settings I use on my CRT's, but then it dawned
on me that both these values were somewhat arrived at because of the
inherent nature of the CRT itself. Are these recommendations still the
best when profiling a LCD, are they even valid on a flat panel, or are
there better settings that should be used?
Come to think about it, my OptiCal/CRT point of reference could be
totally n/a to the new displays. I mean, there are no gamma settings or
PreCal adjustments - no guns, right? - and the only controls for my Apple
15" LCD are contained in its Monitor CP window = White Point temp, White
and Black level sliders, some Position, Tracking and Sharpness controls,
and an Optimize button. So with these new LCD profilers, would you
simply set the color temp (is 6500 still the recommend?), hitch up the
bra, slap in the meter, and hit "Profile"? I assume, at one point in the
process, that you play with White & Black level sliders (if the Cinema's
Monitor CP looks like the one I've got).
