Melissalile Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I purchased the Dell ultrasharp u2715H per Damien's recommendation and it's lovely. But, I'm still having issues. I have an i1Display Pro and I'm struggling with getting everything to look ok. I calibrated following the instructions for that device but it now looks very cool and I have to turn the monitor brightness down so low to match my print. I'm ready to completely give up. Not sure why I can't get this right, but I'm now so darn paranoid to send a print order in. The monitor has settings for Gamma (pc or mac). Not sure what to use. Came set to pc. I use a mac.

Damien Symonds Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 At face value, it sounds like a room lighting issue. If your room lighting is too dim and too yellow (as room lighting often is) it will cause the problems you describle. Could this be the case?
Melissalile Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 Well, I tried re calibrating and now it looks great. I lowered the brightness slightly to get it close to my print and feel like it is good. I'm just nervous trying to order. I've had so man issues that I don't feel like it will ever be perfect. 1
Melissalile Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 Damien, i have daylight bulbs. I have can lights above my workspace.
Melissalile Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 Yes, I'm in the brightest part of my room.
Damien Symonds Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Great. Then if you've got your calibration matching your test prints, you have nothing to worry about.
