Brearley Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My prints were coming back from my lab great for about a year . I had my monitor brightness turned way down. I had some prints come from my lab too dark so I purchased a Spyder pro 5 and calibrated it. ever since I calibrated my screen will be fine then go really white then back to normal. I thought it was my screen so tried it with a brand new screen. Same thing contacted manufacturer of Spyder pro and they said probably calibration not taking due to problems with administer permission installing the software had my husband uninstall and reinstall , said that’s not problem , ordered some prints and still too dark. any thoughts?

Damien Symonds Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Wow! And how long does the whiteness last for? A few seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brearley Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Sometimes a few seconds sometimes 2 minutes but obviously the calibration is not sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 But then, after that period, it goes back to being correct by itself? Without you doing anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Then it really sounds like a weird graphics card glitch, I reckon. However, if that's the case, it's out of my league. I'm going to move this post into Brian's area. @Brian, does it sound like graphics card misbehaviour to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, it could also be an inverter board, the part that turns AC current into DC current since display panels use DC power. It also could be least the current video card driver is not playing nicely with the Spyder software. But before we get to that, HOW are you connected to your display? Are you using a standard 15-Pin Blue VGA (aka D-SUB) cable or a digital connection, such as a white DVI cable or HDMI / DisplayPort cable? What make / model is this monitor or is this a laptop. What version of Windows are you using? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
