Aubrey Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hey D, So Im working on my hubby's monitor calibration and ive tried 3 times and it's just too dang blue. it's a pc desktop. it has a "blue light filter" option you can mess with on the actual monitor. Ive lowered it but the screen is still too blue, compared to my prints. Is there any way to fix this? im using my colormumki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes I did. I'm mostly frustrated with how long it takes to fiddle thru each option just to find the one that matches my prints. Is there a better calibrator out there that has a quicker process than colormunki 1. Money is not an issue. Saving time is my issue. Let me know your recommendation.

Damien Symonds Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This doesn't sound like a calibrator issue to me. Have you calibrated other screens with this calibrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes. My own laptop. But I was able to get it to the right settings within a couple of tries. This stupid monitor is stubborn and it seems I have to go through all 5-6 options of "native, etc", lights down, tick tock tick tock, lights up, compare, etc etc before I can get it right. Was just wondering if there was a calibrator that does this whole work flow faster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Of course there is. Either the Spyder5Elite or the X-Rite i1Display Pro are more powerful. But I am worried about this. I'd hate to see you buy a more expensive calibrator, only to find the same problems. It just sounds like a poor screen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 It's a brand new Asus vc279, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236584. What's annoying is also no matter how much i increase or descrease the brightness on the monitor the little arrow never moves toward the middle. It doesn't move at all. I'll have to try some more settings tonight. Was just wondering if the Xrite Pro was any faster than 5min per calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't move at all. Can you visibly see the screen's brightness changing when you adjust it, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes I can. I just set it to 50% figuring that would good before I push calibrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 And what white luminance target did you set for the Munki? 100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've tried 100, 90, and 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 And were you able to achieve each of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
