calba301 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Damien, This is the first time I'm calibrating and on my 4th attempt following your tutorial. I have a Dell Precision M6800 laptop and bought the xrite i1DisplayPro to calibrate. I'm realizing after multiple attempts that my monitor is too cool since my prints are coming out warmer. My first calibration I used Native and my White Point came out at 7811K and then 80cdlm2. On my 4th attempt I finally changed to D55 and brought my luminance down below the target but my monitor is still too bright and still slightly cool compared to my prints. I'm getting closer I think to my prints matching but want to make sure i'm doing this correctly before I attempt again. Thanks for your help.

Damien Symonds Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Gee Cathy, this sounds like a problem with your room light, not your screen. Can you describe the light in your room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calba301 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have a lot of windows in my house so I definitely have a lot of natural light coming through. When I calibrated I was in my dining room facing a large window and have glass doors nearby too but had my monitor facing away from the window. I closed all the blinds and then compared my prints to my screen only in natural light with no lights turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean "opened" all the blinds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calba301 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ooops! I closed the blinds during calibration and then checked my prints with open blinds and natural light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Phew, great! It wouldn't be a bad idea to test to make sure the calibrator itself is ok. Do you happen to have another computer in the house which you can try calibrating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calba301 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes, I do have another computer to try and calibrate which is a desk top. I will give that a try tomorrow and see how it comes out and let you know. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
