should be about 6500 anyways. Setting the whitepoint to 5000k will do
mean
things to the gray balance on the Apple Displays. There was a bug in
some of
the recent PhotoCAL/OptiCAL releases that required a dot upgrade to
fix a
gamma issue. Go to <http://www.colorcal.com/software_upgrades.html> and
download the x.5.1 update to your software if you don't have it.
What's a realistic BlackPoint on the Apple LCD's? I recently received my
LCD Spyder
& OptiCal upgrade & found it unable to deal with any "brightness"
setting lower than
.60 on my 17" LCD Studio Display. I've used .30 as an aimpoint with
CRT's with
good results before.
You're right about the luminance though; to get a value close to 100-120
the monitor
seems quite dim. Strange to see possible values approaching 180 after
using CRT's
for so long. Does a high value setting in any way adversely affect the
LCD's
useable lifespan?
