What should I set the brightness at on the display? That's the only
adjustment? Color >Temp, and Gamma??? Thanks ___________________________

My preferred method with calibrating LCDs is to adjust brightness to
give me the closet match to the colour temp. aim point. All the LCDs I
have calibrated are balanced towards 65ook at default and as adjusting
the brightness has an effect on the colour temp. it makes good sense to
try to get the hardware as close as possible by this this one and only
adjustment available. In ProfileMaker if you click forward through a few
steps you can get to the colour temp step and adjust the brightness
while taking a reading. One of my criticisms of i1Match is that when
reading LCDs it does not allow a colour temp reading of any sort, even
in advanced mode. The same goes for Monaco Profiler 4.5, which for some
strange reason does not have a gun adjustment step at all, even with
CRTs. OptiCal has a colorimeter mode which provides a Kelvin readout.
The Formac 20" LCD is nearest 6500k at it brightest setting, 6100k on
the one I worked on. Interestingly, of the two Gretag products the
i1Display colorimeter in Match provided the best shaped profile so you
could just use my finding of selecting the brightest setting and settle
on Match with the colorimeter, presuming you also have access to the
colorimeter which Match uses. Match looks for the i1Display colorimeter
upon starting.
The Formac 20" profiled well with an accurate greyscale and in my
opinion is a great unit with impressive blacks for an LCD.
