I have nothing against Eizo, they're good monitors, but not all monitor manufacturers force their users into low Luminances ranges to comply with warranty. If you need higher luminance levels while staying within warranty, look at NECs. / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com [mailto:colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Uli Zappe Sent: 1 avril 2016 15:22 To: Bob Frost <bobfrost@btopenworld.com>; ColorSync List <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Subject: Re: gamma bewilderment wrt/ Argylls documentation Am 01.04.2016 um 10:08 schrieb Bob Frost <bobfrost@btopenworld.com>:
From: Graeme GillSent: Friday, April 1, 2016 1:19 AM Many print professionals deliberately calibrate their displays to a lower brightness such as 100 cd/m^2 and adjust their surround accordingly,................................................................ ................. Just adding another point against high brightness monitors,
But Im not saying nobody should use a dim environment. Im only saying a dim environment is not *typical* for computer usage, and therefore should not be assumed for the *default* color management configuration. If professionals want to work in a dimmer environment for whatever reason, being professionals they should be able to adjust the default configuration accordingly.
even my latest Eizos can only be used at 100 cd/m2 to keep within the warranty.
Which is a strange limitation indeed. OTOH, if the target group is willing to spend $$ for a product with such a limitation, why not? ;-> Bye Uli _________________________________________________________________________ Uli Zappe, Christian-Morgenstern-Straße 16, D-65201 Wiesbaden, Germany http://www.ritual.org Fon: +49-700-ULIZAPPE Fax: +49-700-ZAPPEFAX _________________________________________________________________________
