What software are
you using to create your monitor profile? Most new software packages for
monitor profiling now allow you to select native white point when
creating profiles, but some older versions don't. Monaco Profiler 4.6 and
GretagMacBeth ProfileMaker 4.0 did not offer this as an option.
Here's one possible
way you can measure white point...I'm sure the pro's will chime in if there is
an error in my methodology:
2. Use the Spot
Measure feature in Logo Color Lab to measure a white patch on your
monitor
3. Display the
results in XYZ
5. Enter you XYZ
values in the appropriate fields and click the XYZ button to display the Color
Temp
The above assumes
your spectrophotometer is supported by ColorLab and can work in emissive mode.
In my case, a white patch on my Eizo CG21 monitor gave XYZ
readings of 129.4, 135.3, 140.7, which calculates to a white point of 6136.1 k.
