It really depends what you are looking for, if all you want is to see what the camera captured then you will also need a camera profile and a color managed application to view the image. Generic sRGB will not show what the camera has actually capture. Monitor, camera, and printer profiles...

It doesn't really matter what I, or anyone else thinks is proper. If the image on your calibrated monitor matches the print of your calibrated printer then you know it's right. The only thing I could do with this image is print it and then see if the image on the screen matches what I see...

xtknight, My monitor is an HP LP 2065, I have never actually seen a Dell with my own eyes. A fellow photographer with good technical knowledge reported that his Dell would not go below 175cd/m2, and many others said that the monitor is too bright for accurate color editing wthout...

rxblitzrx, Yes you can try and use the software for free but it's only usefull if you already have a compatible colorimeter. It doesn't work without so don't even bother if you don't have one. I recommend buying the CED/DTP94 bundle for $325. DDC calibration is very tricky and...

One more thing, HP LP2065 is $399 minus $40 rebate from B&H. Add the ColorEyes Display/DTP94 bundle at $325 and you have a $685 combo that I bet that beats (in image quality) everything under $1000, NEC 20WMGX2 included.

Well, the Dell has the same panel with the HP LP 2035, (LG.Philips LM201U04) The HP LP 2065 has an LG.Philips LM201U05 panel, just like NEC 2090UXi. For photo editing it's very important to be able to calibrate at 110cd/m2 and lower or your prints will come out darker than you see them. I...

If color accuracy is important to you, I suggest the HP LP 2065 calibrated with ColorEyes Display in DDC mode. I got amazing results with that combo. Average DeltaE 0,23 max DeltaE 0,43 visible difference down to RGB value 3, smooth gradients with almost no banding, and white point at...

Recomendation for a decent 20" non WS 1600x1200 monitor.

HP LP2065 is the best choice here IMHO, but that depends what you want it for. Still $360 after rebate from B&H.

Can Someone tel me how to adjust brightness on a Samsung 971P? It's not mine, I'm just trying to help a friend out. The only options seem to be the presets. Is there an other way? I think it can be done through Magic Tune software but I may be wrong.
