Calibration bar at the bottom of the page

Oi vay! Such humour!
The point of the thread was to raise awareness, and to show some, that their monitor basic brightness & contrast was either way off or maybe somewhere near sane.

Somewhere near sane?!?!?!?! So is monitor sanity classed as a specific defence in court? "My photos did not print correctly for the bride and groom your honour, which is why we are standing before you today, cause my monitor was insane at the time"

Thanks Kym for this handy little strip, my computer seems to be sane

I found it much easier to see against the background provided by the black stealth skin, rather than the site default one. I can at least now distinguish the last black bar.

It now has a grey band Refresh if needed

Great tool for checking your monitors brightness, I struggled so much with calibrating my monitor that I finally purchased a Monitor Calibrator (well Xmas Present) I put a second monitor on and it calibrated that as well there are some slight differences between the monitors but you have to stare hard to see the difference. And the Bar Below, I see all which is reassuring (yes I know it should lol)
Oh by the way in reading some of the below posts I have the version that adjusts for ambient light I Highly reccomend it. Am new to the Forum hoping I can contribute as well as learn a lot

Thanks for putting it at the top again. Works well, but I have trouble seeing the Gamma cal using that QuickGamma that is linked. Any advice with that?

From this? http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

We don't manage that site so you will need to ask there.

In the end the best calibration is with a device.

I was looking for something like this, thanks for posting.

Everything seems to be OK here
Thanks for this useful info.

Thanks very much for that, I appreciate the effort put into it. It's always great to find that your monitor is working against a variety of tests. It also shows that my calibration tools are working well. That said, do you know much about the new Spyder4 and if they made such improvements with it that one "should" replace Spyder3?

The spyder4 was an upgrade, and basically uses the same colorimeter as the 3 version. The colorimeter changed a lot between spyder 2 and spyder 3.

Thankyou that was very handy

I recently re-calibrated my monitor. happy to distinguish the 33 shades
