>>Anthony R Sanna <email@hidden>: His situation is also
complicated by his graphics card which is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960,
which I gather is a higher end gaming card. He’s on a PC and the Nvidea
has its own control panel to set the parameters for the display.
First...which OS is he running--hopefully not Win10 (ugh!)?
I'm running a Win7 (pro/64bit) system with a NVIDIA GeForce GT740--I
don't game so I'm clueless as to what's necessary for gaming.
I have set the NVIDIA Display Driver Service to "manual" and the NVIDIA
Stereoscopic Driver Service to "disabled"--via Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Services: then scroll down the alphabetical list
looking for "nvidia", highlight the item, right-click, choose
"Properties", click on the "Stop" button if necessary, change the
"Startup" type via the dropdown menu. Note that on a previous system, I
had uninstalled all NVIDIA's 3D Vision stuff but on my current system,
I've never gotten around to doing that and setting the 3D Service to
disabled works just as well.
I use a DataColor Spyder to calibrate my monitor. Works nicely and I'd
recommend it--there are other hardware calibrators but I've never used
them.
>>His original question to me was “why are my prints always too dark”
when he claims to have the display set at 700cd/m2.
I generally set my Spyder calibration parameters using the following:
Gamma=2.2, Temp/White Point=6500k, Brightness=120cd/m2. Prints too dark
can be a profile (print setting) problem--if using Photohop, what
monitor profile is he using (I use a variation of BruceRBG) and if he's
not calibrated his monitor, he's lucky to get anything useful when
printing...'-}}
Hope the above proves useful...
