But the ColorMunki Display (also from X-rite) is identical to it, only slower in calibration time.

The iDisplay Pro is one of the best (for the money) imo. For measuring the results of the calibration, HCFR is excellent in drawing up charts with all the critical data you may need.Īll this stuff may be daunting when you first get into it but the basics can be easy to learn.ĭepends on how much it matters to you. Displa圜al (which I use with ColorMunki Display) is excellent and is the front end for ArgyllCMS which is considered to be one of the best calibration softwares around.

WHile X-rite devices are top notch, their software imo does not measure up to same standard. But many who use the X-rite devices tend to not use their software as there is a better alternative which is free (Displa圜al). The iDisplay Pro, aside from being faster, also has a more advanced software suite. All these devices are far better than anything from Spyder.įor some, the extra $100 for the iDisplay Pro over the ColorMunki Display might not be worth it. The Pantone ColorMunki (also from X-rite) is a spectrophotometer and more than your needs or purposes at this point in time.

It's also usually more precise and has less banding problems (I believe GPUs is 8bit only).Ĭlick to expand.Depends on how much it matters to you. Monitors supporting hardware calibration modify their own internal LUT and so are not affected by any software messing up with the GPU.

Supposedly widowed/borderless avoids this and there are some injectors that fix it, but I haven't got experience with either. The problem with games is they reset the GPUs LUT so you lose your calibration. There is additional information in the ICC profile for color conversion in supporting apps for even better results but I never quite understood how that part works.Īfter profiling and loading the LUT you get a color accurate image on your monitor. The most important part of it is the LUT that gets loaded into your GPU and does the majority of work to get accurate colors and gama. Click to expand.My understanding of this is limited, but here is how I believe it works:įirst you use your monitor's controls to get the image as good as you can (most often limited to black level, peak brightness and white point) and then let the profiling software make an ICC profile.
