Its a shame really that although many people correct their images onscreen they have never actually profiled their monitor and therefore cannot be sure that things are as they should be.
I am referring to a device such as the Colorvision Spyder. You may be interested to know that a new affordable model has been released. There is a review of it HERE I think you would be amazed at the difference it makes |
Stephen,
I my monitor is as you describe - flat panel TFT. Had I realised the difference in how sharpness was displayed I would have toned it down a bit. When you print its easy as you see the results of your actions. I have only adjusted for brighness and contrast. Even that was trial and error as no instructions but several buttons. Will have to seek a bit of advice from Harry as he has the same model.
Thanks for the link. I will check it out when I understand what I am doing. Don't want to wreck my view by accident.
Don
