Hi Roger,
"but shall be at least 80 cd/m2 and should be at least 120 cd/m2."
Does it say why?
But I'll agree that 80 is very sweet on the eyes, it could never cause any
eye strain or fatigue whatsoever. The only potential side effects,
arguably,
could come in the form of lower perceived contrast.
So it matches the low contrast of prints better?
Secondly, sadly, 80 cd/m2 falls quite shy of IDEAlliance's 160 cd/m2
luminance requirement for monitor certification.
No indication of why in IDEAlliance stuff as far as I can see. My Eizo's
pass the certification, but using them at that level, as I said previously,
voids the warranty and Eizo's recommendations. If I did pump up my Eizo's to
160, I would need sunglasses to work at them, and a bigger bank account to
keep replacing them!!
But for working with hardcopy proofs, I don't know, what do you think?
Luckily for me, I don't have to comply with these 'standards'. As a
photographer who prints for his own pleasure and the odd
competition/exhibition, I don't need to do anything other than achieve a
good match of screen to print, and I test those prints in the lighting to
which they will be subjected in real life.
If you must have 160, then you should choose a manufacturer that makes them
specifically to work at 160 - usually to watch films on? ;)
