- Thread-topic: Monitor to monitors displaying the same image
I have read many articles about the importance of calibrating and profiling
your monitor. I certainly agree with this, but when reading further down the
lines telling that identical numbers produce identical color appearances on
different monitors it gets hard for me to agree. For example (worse case)
one uses an high end monitor like Eizo ColorEdge or Quato in the production
room and next person in the office room checking the production using a
Laptop. This Laptop has been calibrated as well and as we all know a Laptop
has a limited color gamut. The production will never look the same as on a
high end monitor, the gamut in the laptop is much too small for being able
to show those subtle tones in a fine image. I hear too often "our screens
are calibrated so everything is ok" is it really so? They automatically take
it for granted that when its calibrated you will have the same look when
opening an image on different screens. If you work with a high end monitor
and sending images for approval to a company that might look at the images
on a laptop, what do you do? They tell you they use calibrated screens but
you don't know what screens they are using....Would it not be a good way to
tell that color appearance will look identical if the screens are of equal
quality, if not....?
Or is there something I am missing?
