Miri Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I have a new computer and new screen. I have an LG and Spyder x elite calibrator. I calibrated my monitor and the highlights of my images are yellow. Without the calibration it's more even toned. With the calibration, It looks like yellow spots with hard lines between shadow and highlight. I tried to recalibrate and it looks the same. Any ideas? Thanks!
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 May I have a link to the specs of your new screen?
Miri Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 I think this is it. It's off the site where I purchased it. https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27MK600M-B-led-monitor
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Thanks. And did you follow my calibration directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 What Display Technology did you choose?https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32038-xelite-11/
Miri Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 I selected standard LED because I couldn't find any other info in the specs
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah, I can't find anything to contradict that either. Your Spyder worked ok on your previous screen?
Miri Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 I don't remember seeing the yellow problem, but my computer died right after installing it.
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Bummer Try another calibration with a Version 4 profile, maybe. https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32032-xelite-07/
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 No, of course not. There is no problem with your images, only your screen profile.
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Ok, we need to know the source of this problem. Do you still have your old screen? Or another screen of any sort? You'll need to plug it in and calibrate it and see if the same problem arises.
Miri Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I have good news. I went through your instructions again and noticed that I didn't have the RGB Sliders option. I figured it out following your instructions, then I had trouble finding the RGB sliders. But I did and had to do major adjustments to them. Now it looks much, much better. It's telling because before the uncalibrated looked better, now the uncalibrated looks really red and bad. I hope that RGB option will be there automatically next time I calibrate. Thanks as always for your help! Edited October 23, 2020 by Miri
