HP A7217A or Sony FW900 Your settings?

[Sigismundo]

Hey I was wondering if some more experienced members could share their monitor settings for this monitor, I know not every monitor will be indentical, but i really don't know what the heck I am doing, and am deffinately not going to be springing for a calibration tool.

I just got this monitor from Accurate IT, and am like a kid on Christmas....(take those LCD's and shove em)....it's gorgeous.

Still, the color could be better calibrated, and when i try I tend to mess it up worse, there just too many darn options on this thing, and I am clearly not a pro.

Anyone with one of these fantastic 24" CRT's willing to share your settings pref someone who has used a professional calibration tool?

Having owned a few of these (7, to be exact) you really need a colorimeter.

The variance between them was HUGE, even after you let them fully warm up, do a factory reset, and the auto-calibration routine (forget exactly what it's called, sold my last one 18 months ago).

I would recommend picking up a cheap sensor (Spyder 2 for example, the express package is cheap) and then downloading the trial of ColorEyes Display Pro. With full colorimeter calibration they're great monitors. Without it's really luck of the draw. Some of the ones I had were good and required very little adjustment, some were WAY off.

Ahhhhhh I doubt I iwll be getting a color meter. Again use this primarily for gaming, I may do some photo editing but not much.

Any basic advice you can give me?

I don't know my 9300k from my 6300k or really what even any of that means.

I do know m FE2111SB which has alot less color options seems to have much better saturation of colors for gaming, how accurate it is I don't know, but for gaming deep saturation seems to look best.....any tips on achieving that on this monitor?
