At the top of this screen the program automatically knows the name of the screen you're calibrating.  It's pretty cool.  I've calibrated a whole bunch of screens and it got it right every time!

All the important settings

Make sure your screen looks exactly like mine:

1. The White Point should be 6500K, unless you found out that your lab recommends something different.  If so, choose your lab's setting, but consider finding a new lab very quickly.
2. Choose "Measured Mode" then type "80" in the White Luminance field.  This will be the brightness of your screen.
3. Make sure Room Light Compensation is turned off.
4. The Gray Balance setting will be on "Faster" by default, but let's go for the best possible calibration we can.  Choose "Better" here.
5. We're about to do a full calibration, so of course choose "FullCAL" here.

The default setting of Gamma 2.2 is always correct, no matter what out-of-date information you might have read about Macs using 1.8.  "Backlight" should be what you chose on a previous screen.

Once all of those settings are input, press "Next".

Adjust Color Temperature Preset

This is the next screen you'll see:

Go to your screen's controls and choose the "User" or "Custom" setting.  In a moment you'll be tweaking the R, G and B settings in there, to fine-tune the colour.

Press "Next" again.

HI Damien, I've completed the calibration process and it did not take me to the above part (the adjust colour temp preset), it come up with the section to start calibration process. So i started it anyway, and the only section that I had to adjust was the brightness. It did not ask me to adjust any of the colours. What part have I missed or done wrong?

[Damien Symonds]

Did you definitely check all three boxes on this screen?

[shalea]

No I didn't. I only ticked the first one. How can I go back and change that option? I have tried starting the calibration process again but it skips this section. 

[Damien Symonds]

In the bottom left corner of the screen there should be a little drop-down menu.  You should be able to access this screen from there.

Thanks all done!

I'm not sure where to find how to adjust these. I have a hp 22cwa monitor on a Mac mini (M1, 2020) if that helps.

Can you find me a link to a PDF version of your screen's manual?

Please hold. I was thinking in the computer settings. I think I know what you're talking about. 🤦‍♀️

Im still not getting the option to change the RGB colours. When I calibrate it goes through the brightness and then says calibration finished. Driving myself nuts I have triple checked all your calibration instructions

Mac or PC?

Pc 

 

Something is going wrong. I’m shutting down everything and restarting computer. It just froze and came up with this error and my screen is now light blue 🤦🏼‍♀️ I need to go back to my nursing job I think 🤔 

[shalea]

This box is checked so i figure it should be ok but it's not
