I calibrated my 2nd monitor, LG HD. It was close to the prints when I started and it's close afterwards. During calibration I had to take the brightness down to 0 and that left a discrepancy of 86 to 80. The i1Display Studio screen instructions said if I can't get it to the desired brightness that the program will take that into consideration during it's final calibration.
I think that the prints are slightly warmer than both monitors, or the screens are slightly brighter. As you said in your instructions, that could be the difference between a print and a monitor screen. I don't trust my eye yet. I have a lot to learn! I think that they are so close that I should leave them as calibrated and then take another look after the Raw class. As I take more classes my eye will become more refined.
Question --
I noticed a setting on both of my monitors - Gamma. They are both set to Gamma 1. I think my tech guy set it to Gamma 1 when he set up my system(?) The options are Gamma 0, 1, 2 and Off. I went through the Gamma settings and Gamma Off and Gamma 1 were very close. Gamma 2 was too saturated and Gamma 0 didn't work with a different tint.
I reread one of your monitor calibrations documents and I saw a note about 2.2 being preferred, but that it's handled in the profile.
Should I change my monitors' Gamma settings and re-calibrate, or leave as is?
Thanks...
