what i find amazing is people can see that stuff. if i bring both my moniter contrast and brightness to 100% i can see the numerals 2 and 3, but that is 100% like i said, and it hurts my eyes to even look at it. not only that but there no longer a hint of "black" anywhere, only washed out gray where black should be.

i can't wait until i get home to check this out. i have my gamma set to 1.3 and it is a bit "dimmer" in teh fact colors look richer and not all washed out.

BTW moniter settings are contrast 95% brightness 40% is normal for both moniters

can make out grey at 6, number 10 looks the right shade of grey.

Box 2 is the first i can define the edges of a box.
The box that matches closest to what i consider grey is 12, although it would still class as a dark grey.

That's just to much work for me waffle, sorry:P

lol I did it, and was amazed at how clearly some of the new gauges popped out at me... Game looked really good to me afterwards. Even the skins that I did looked better than when I was working on them. Little monitor calibration never hurt no-one

Was figuring it would be helpful to some folks.

I consider 9 to be the last "grey".

I can see box #2, but barely...

Waffle, question, where did you get that "moniter claibrating" thing? or did you make it?

second i will say my home PC is just like work, the 10 text is barely visible, with my game playing settings set.

i will now do the moniter cal thing, and reply after

i only have 6500k and 9300k available.

i normally use 9300k, the 6500 makes everythign look redish

should i still try with 6500 or no?

did it with 6500, everything "white" has a pink tint to it.

to get the "12" to show brightness is now at 97%, contrast 100%

no change in conrast had an effect on the "white"

switched to 9300k and everything looks washed out
