Just got the gorgeous HP LP2475w monitor. Trying to calibrate it and not trusting the results. Using a Spyder 3 Pro w/ the following settings:
Brightness down to 65
Contrast to 90.
sRGB
Gama 2.2
Kelvin 6500k
For calibration I selected Grey balance. Spyder 3 strongly discouraged me from using RGB sliders so I picked Kelvin 6500lk. (But I did try RGB sliders and I could not get R channel to get within target values with it set at 255?) The process was quick but something is still off I think. I sent the Datacolor calibration photos you see at the end of the calibration to Adorama to be printed out. These photos were ?straight to print? original. But these photos look darker while onscreen its looks vivid and rich. I also had a Smugmug.com calibration print done at Adorama and got the same results, noticeably darker/duller.
Can you suggest anything? Is it best to use RGB sliders to set color temperature?? Is the brightness still too high?
