rswannabe Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd have to say not really. Or, at leaset it didn't seem like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Well, how can you make your room brighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Not really sure. About the only thing I can think of is a high powered floor lamp or something. Not real practical for room, but it sounds like I’m out of options. I’m just trying to figure out what changed and why I can’t get it back.

Damien Symonds Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I forget if you told me ... did you try a different lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I did. Only one so far. I’ve downloaded software for a couple others, but navigation is so counterintuitive, I need to spend some time figuring it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 And did that one match your original lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 They were very, very close to each other and both darker than screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ok, then don't worry about any other labs. You have all the evidence you need. Now we're in "very good friend" territory. Do you have one who would let you borrow their computer screen for a day so you can attach to your computer and calibrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ha ha. Are we talking “any” screen? I don’t think I know anyone off hand that has a decent non-apple screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Any screen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I’m on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Anything to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 HOLY SHIT!!! I think I finally got it! I contacted Datacolor and they had me reset to factory, which I thought I had already done and a few other things. Anyway, at the end of calibration, it looked much better, but still a bit bright. But, now my brightness is at 30 and it's pretty damn close. Now maybe I can get some motivation to edit again! Thank you for sticking with me. As an aside, now that you're back on FB, are general questions prefered there, or here since I'm a premium member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can ask them wherever you find more convenient. But yeah, I'd prefer them on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rswannabe Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Sounds good. In the process, Datacolor is trying to upsell me to the Spyder 5. Worth the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 If you're getting a good calibration (finally!) with your current calibrator, then no, I wouldn't bother upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
