When reading through the "instructions" for calibration with the
products I've tried, Optix XR Pro, Optical, EyeOne Display,
BasicColor, I can see where one could easily get confused. There
seems to be NO differentiation between "brightness" as in controlling
the black point (CRT - like) and "brightness" as in backlight
brightness. To add to the confusion it appears that many of the OSD
controls on the displays make no differentiation between the two
either.
Apparently you haven't read through the on-line help that in built
into Spyder2PRO;
You are right about that. I had Spyder (version 1) with Optical. I
haven't used Spyder2.
while I'd love to make it even easier in future versions, it at
least describes the difference between the two, and offers lots of
examples of each, to make it clearer which is which.
That's great. The other products I have used basically tell you to
skip the adjustments you don't have available and proceed. No
explanation of why. No mention of LCD backlights vs. brightness. It
seems to me that the folks who have "issues" with "calibrating"
average LCDs often expect to be manually inputting more than they are
during the process. Skipping whole sections doesn't exactly instill
any level of confidence in the process for new users.
You then check that you have Brightness, Backlight, or Contrast
controls (or any combination of the three) and the software uses
the optimal combination of what you have available to make its
adjustments.
Well this kind of emphasizes my point that many people don't know and
would be hard pressed to find out whether their "brightness" button
is actually a backlight or a software tweak to the video card.
Thanks for the info.
