Just a small, informal poll. Spurred by having to deal with prepress people recently and just plain curiosity.


  • Do you use PC or Mac?
  • Is your display calibrated with an actual calibration device?
  • Or calibrated by hand, using gamma scales and such?
  • If it is, to what gamma is it calibrated to?
  • If it's not calibrated, have you at least checked the black point?
  • What color temperature your monitor is set to?

This is not very scientific, and I know rough percentages beforehand, but I'm curious. :)
 
Self calibrated

Cant tell you much else, my monitor has an auto calibration button so I use that >_>
 
I just use DisplayMate to get good contrast, gamma,  and color levels.
 
Well my monitor is DVI, so there is only 3 possible settings - Brightness, Contrast and Colour Temperature.
Mines isn't caliberated, but Dell put in 3 profiles - Desktop, Gaming and Multimedia which all effect the above settings in different ways...
 
I use a mac, not sure if it's already been calibrated but you can do it manually in the display preferences.
 
I've got a monitor with a DVI and a VGA interface, but i only have a VGA-cable. So i use a DVI->VGA-Adapter plugged into my graphics card. Would it be worth buying a DVI-cable, are there performance or image-quality differences?
 
Yes, if you have an eye for detail.

Could you please explain to me, what differences there are?  :-) Because i think ive never seen a dvi-monitor...
