RE: monitors?

["Phil Williams" <phil.williams(at)tinopolis.com>]

The Huey calibrator I’m using adjusts the colour to its surroundings in real-time i.e. if the sun come out then the colour automatically adjusts the screen – which can be a bit strange on an unsettled day!! Who’s to say if it’s actually correct though, I guess you just put your faith in it.

The human eye is very bad at judging colour or tonal differences unless the colours are adjacent to each other and it’s easily swayed in its judgment by what’s around it. You may not believe it but you’re not actually able to make that kind of judgment unless the difference is extreme. It’s more likely that whatever light or background colours are in the environment surrounding the monitors is swaying your perception. In my own study the colour I perceive on my monitor varies according to the weather – warm when it’s overcast, cooler when the sun’s out – and also according to whether I’ve been using the laptop monitor, which is a tad on the warm side. The LCD is correctly calibrated but tends to look cool after a stint on the crappy laptop screen.

I'm just teasing ...

 

but seriously, I think you will agree that they are superior as far as image quality and color reproduction is concerned. And that they would be 'correct' if properly calibrated for a medium .. TV/print etc.

 

I've even used that spider calibration thingy on two LG's I have at home and white still looks greenish-white....

Two Dell's I have at work show the middle gray, brownish...   and ofcourse ..both monitors in both occasions can't show the exact same colours even with the exact same settings.

 

...either that or i'm going color blind.

So you’re telling me that it’s automagically correct for web, TV, DVD, CMYK, every printer ever made, all at the same time? Excellent. Is it right for film too?
