Tips on how to easily calibrate your monitor

It is important to know that each monitor requires alignment or calibration, so here you will find some tips on how to properly and easily calibrate your monitor. You may wonder, what if the computer works perfectly? You will find everything in detail, why and for whom - in this text.

The essence of alignment is to display the image correctly on any imaging devices and adapt it to see the colors of the press. It is true that printers can also be calibrated, but this topic will be discussed in another article.

Thus, the monitor can be aligned in several ways:

First: Adjustment of parameters after setting temperature 6500K in the monitor.

Second: Visual tuning using special programs such as datacolor spyder, x-rite calibration, DisplayCAL, but for this you need to have a monitor calibrator. The most used calibrators are X-rite and Datacolor Spyder.

Third: After ordering the monitor calibration service www.kalibruok.lt on the page.

The first method of monitor calibration will be discussed in more detail below. Also, this step is usually enough for amateur photographers.

Lighting - it is necessary to provide adequate room lighting. True, the location of the monitor should not be illuminated very brightly. Experts say that it is better not to use incandescent light bulbs for monitor lighting, as they emit yellow light. Therefore, they recommend choosing daylight bulbs that correspond to 5800K or 6500K color temperatures.

Image size and number of colors - on the desktop screen settings window look for: Display properties < Settings (image size is set). For CRT monitors, you can choose any size you want, and for flat LCD monitors, you need to set the basic (matrix) image size, because only in the basic mode, LCD monitors show optimal brightness. By the way, it is important to check the screen refresh rate: Advanced>Monitor>Screen refresh rate. Specialists suggest setting the maximum frequency at which the monitor can display the image. Because your work comfort and eye health depend on the frequency. Did you know that 75 Hz is straining the eyes and 90 Hz is comfortable.

Color temperature - for example, the color temperature value of yellow light is about 5500K, and blue light is about 9300K. A monitor is usually set to a color temperature of 7500K. This light is brighter, brighter, but has a bluish tint, so it is necessary to convert to 6500K.

Brightness and contrast when adjusting the brightness, it is important to remember that the lightest and darkest halftones must be clearly different. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the contrast to the maximum or leave the amount recommended by the manufacturer.

Gamma is the lightness of gray or midtones. However, it is very rare to adjust the gamma on a monitor. Note a few rules. It is usually possible to adjust the gamma with QuickGamma or MCW applications, 2.2 gamma is recommended.
