Damien Symonds Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Let's fix the issue, @tammyt. In what way does your screen differ from your prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It's not that it's horrible or anything. I just think my prints are darker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 ... which means that your screen is too bright. Go ahead and recalibrate with lower brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I just did. But when it gets to the brightness "match" stage, I had to really up my brightness to get it anywhere close to the number asked for on the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Then that means your room light is too dim. Remind me which Spyder you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not all of it. haha I looked for the elite specific page earlier and couldn't find it! I know I probably need to get new bulbs in this room... just haven't been venturing out to far these last few months. Shall I try again tonight, or wait till morning?

tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Nah... 10:45 I'll redo it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Oh and I wasn't sure what kind of monitor to put so I left it at the default of wide...your instructions say most are standard... how do I decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyt Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 And do I turn the overhead lights off? So just the monitor is the only light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously turn them back on afterwards to compare the prints. Can you tell me the make/model of the screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
