@Daphne please post your question about your screens here.

Hi Damien, 

 

I have a question. I have attached a photo, I have 2 screens from 2 different brands, the left is LG and the right is iiyama, they are both calibrated at the same time of the day, how can this make such a big difference and which one is correct? can you perhaps help me? 

 

Greetings Daphne

[Daphne]

I have already found the answer in frequently asked questions and the LG corresponds to my print so I will keep it as I did for the photos

 

Sorry, I didn't know about this page, otherwise I would have already searched here

I have something else crazy now for the 2nd time.
My screen is very dark, which is great as it was calibrated. but if I put the computer in sleep mode and turn off the screens and turn it back on fifteen minutes later to do something else, the brightness is much higher, but the colors are still the same, how is that possible?

[Damien Symonds]

Remind me which calibrator you have?

[Damien Symonds]

Just to confirm, are these two screens attached to the same computer?

[Daphne]

Yes, and i halve de Spyker x pro. That brighter screen is only on the LG

[Damien Symonds]

Have you read this to make sure you have everything set up properly?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/working-with-dual-screens-windows-10/

[Daphne]

yes, I only have Windows 11, but that shouldn't matter, the settings are the same

Does your screen have a "HDR" setting?

[Daphne]

Ja, dat heeft het en het is uitgeschakeld

[Daphne]

yes it has and it is turned off

but it's strange that when I turn the screen off and then turn it back on, it suddenly becomes much brighter

[Damien Symonds]

Okay, we need to know if this is an issue with the screen, or the computer.

So do you have another computer you can plug the screen into, to see if it exhibits the same behaviour?

[Daphne]

I tried it out by connecting the screen to my laptop and calibrating it, then going to sleep mode, turning everything off and on again, then it has no problem. If I go to settings and screen on my computer after turning it back on, it works fine. But calibrated to my computer or to my laptop is also a big difference. On my laptop it is just as bright as the screen on the right and as soon as I plug the cable back into my computer and it goes to the calibrated setting, it is much less bright again.

[Damien Symonds]

With what kind of cable are both your screens connected?

[Daphne]

the LG with the display port and the iiyama with HDMI cable

[Damien Symonds]

They should be okay.  Is there an option for HDMI for the LG as well?  Or could you swap them?

[Daphne]

the screens are more similar after the change, the LG still has that if you turn the screen off and on again, you have to go to settings and then screen and then it jumps to the configuration settings

[Damien Symonds]

How odd.

[Daphne]

Is it sometimes better to turn on the HDR?

[Damien Symonds]

No, never.

[Daphne]

That's what I thought, but I think I'll ask again. then I just know for myself as soon as I turn my screen back on, I just go to the screen settings and then it's fine again
