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

Did you set at 9300 then do the calibration? If looking at a difference between 93 and 65 - set at 9300 and then redo the calibration. If you still have the red - you going to have to adjust RGB values to what you percieve as white..ie reduce the red a bit..

Tough to do by eye.

yes.

there is a slight difference, the 9300 needs 85% brightness, and 100% contrast. no redness with it, and it tolerable for gameplay. i turn brightness down to about 30 for normal activities

I can see a distinction starting at 9 (8 is indistinguishable from the background, but I can see the number 8). However, I don't consider 12 grey, it's too dark. So I'm off the scale. And mind you, this is WITH gamma correction working on my monior. I see things normally (or should).

I need to set the adobe gamm loader up here. Suprfly and I are working on a project, he's got the adobe gamma loaded and cant see the shades past 7, which id RGB 70/70/70. This little thread and test id more for a curiosity issue and thoughts about having a "recommended" setting for AH, where everyone is in the same ballpark monitor setting wise. Last, maybe to help folks that are having issues with some of the gauges.


73 - im set at 35 brightness /100 contrast using 8600 kelvin on a syncmaster 997df newest monitor...my old moniter is pretty much dimed out

you can also google "monitor calibration" and it should turn up plenty of sites.

9 just. 10 I can see more clearly.

hmm  thats odd...

i saved the file, opened in paint, and checked the value of 12.

it was 55/55/55

something to do with the JPG?

cc on the CAL thing, though i'd bet my moniter is getting old. it is a viewsonic E771 about 4-5 years old.

can't afford a new one, so i may be stuck

[Waffle]

my bad - its 50-55 area..lol too many numbers in my head this afternoon.


The one monitor I've got dimed out is about 4-5 years old.

[JB73]

50-55 RGB for patch 7 or patch 12?

im confused.. i found the 55 for patch 12. i didn't test 7, but i can

[1K3]

grey is 11

something's wrong with my monitor lol

[Waffle]

Just trying to get an idea of how folks "see" in game...lol


Outta of 36 responses dealing with the first picture in the first post...

Boxes 1-4: 16 /36 start seeing shades of grey here.
Boxes 5-8: 10/36 folks start seeing shades of grey here.
Boxes 9-12: 10/36 folks start seeing shades of grey here.

Couple saw complety black they need a new monitor or to calibrate it properly.

It's all preference, but if you can see boxes 2-5 or shades near those number, with definite shape recognition around 6-8, then you're in the ball park.

What numbered box is what you would consider grey? Also what is the number of the last box that you can see?

gamma calibration is highly influenced by ambient lighting, you guys with black might wanna check that.
