See Terry's post for "native white point" explanation.
The method I gave will report the current temperature of your display
(if your profile software doesn't already do this), but you shouldn't
infer from this that the reported temperature is the "optimum"
temperature. It just tells you what it is, not what it should be...and
as Terry pointed out, the native white point on a CRT is whatever you
want it to be...if you have control of the RGB Guns. In my example I
used an LCD, which doesn't have control over RGB guns because there are
none.
Good point Mike. I was over-simplifying and assuming CRT.
CRT native white point=
"whatever you want it to be" (if you RGB gun control)
LCD native white point=
"it is what it is"
We should add that, in the case of LCDs, the closer your chosen profile
white point/color temp is to the native color temp, the more luminance
(or the less "dumbing down") you'll get.
