I've learned to live with this (more or less) but every time I
profile/calibrate my monitor(s) the resulting calibration just seems dark
to me...like black is being exaggerated. This seems to be the case with all
three calibration tools/instruments I have (OptiCal, iOne w/ICC Display
2.1, LaCie Blue Eye) at my disposal. Generally speaking I leave black point
alone and specify a luminance of 85 or so, and I usually calibrate to a
color temperature of 5500K at a gamma of 1.8. Things seem to display darker
almost everywhere regardless of the application. What could I possibly be
doing wrong? Calibrating a monitor isn't exactly rocket science. This dark
behavior seems to be pretty consistent across the workgroup (mostly
Mitsubishi Diamond Pro monitors) regardless of which piece of software I
use.
