![]() They seem to want me specifically using "Contrast" and/or "RGB Gain for the "White level" measurer, and something (?) for the "Black level." The "Black level" measurement bar is marked by the universal symbol for Brightness (sun w/ rays), but the word "Brightness" isn't written anywhere in the entire utility! "Brightness" moves it up and down, but that isn't on the list of settings I should be fiddling with, nor is "Gamma" or "Black Level" despite their also moving the needle. Furthermore, when it comes to satisfying the "Black level" and "White level" measurers, it's not clear which of the monitor settings that can change this value should be the one to do so. I can go back and forth with these all day and never find a happy medium that suits them both and lights up the values in green as the utility seems to want. If I go ahead and modify those plain RGB values to make the "Interactive display adjustment" "Whitepoint / White level" measurer happy, the corresponding "Black point / Black level" measurer is then unhappy. ![]() There are menus for hue and saturation which give RBG (and CMY) levels adjustments, but those don't seem like the ones I should be playing with. What I have is plain RBG values, nested within the "User Defined" submenu of the "Color Temp" menu. Right away I find that I don't have anything called RGB gain and RGB offset adjustment menus anywhere in my monitor's settings. I first select the "Color Mode" as "Custom 1" in my monitor's settings, which makes available certain otherwise greyed-out menu options. Assuming for the moment that whatever I've picked - whatever options I've ticked or selected from dropdown menus - are 100% the correct ones (they're not), it only gets messier from here. Changing any of the vast array of options back before launching the "Interactive display adjustment" utility changes how the utility behaves and what it asks for. After clicking "Start measurement" in any one of four menus (Whitepoint / White level, White level, Black point /Black level, Check settings), the utility asks me to manually adjust varying combinations of contrast, RGB gain, color temperature and/or RGB offset values to bring these colored and grayscale bars within certain precise parameters. I have no idea which of them to choose, if any.ĭisregarding the other menus (Calibration, Profiling, 3D LUT and Verification) for the time being - which I have little to no idea how to properly configure - when I advance over to "Calibrate & profile," moving my colorimeter over the target measurement area for a series of seemingly neutral swatches, I'm greeted by the "Interactive display adjustment" utility. ![]() None of these indicate RB-LED as the chosen technology type. Upon using the "check online for colorimeter correction" feature, a handful of user-submitted options are shown, some described as "Spectral: Unknown," others as "Spectral: LCD GB-r LED IPS," another as "Spectral: LCD," and yet another as "Spectral: LCD White LED." There are other entries in the list, but they seem to be using different colorimeter models than mine, so I've ignored them. DisplaySpecifications lists it as RB-LED (BenQ does not give this info on their online spec sheet), but Displa圜al does not list this technology among their list of available corrections in the "Display & Instrument" menu. First, there seems to be an issue regarding the specific technology in use in this display. In so doing, I have come across a few questions/problems. I figured I would try my luck with Displa圜al and the Colormunki Display first. For Palette Master Element please visit our website:Ĭonveniently, that link is broken. "You must use a colorimeter and install Palette Master Element before optimizing the display color. I noticed, however, that my display came with a little piece of paper stating: Nevertheless, that lead me to believe that a set-it-and-forget-it approach to calibrating my display was possible, and so I chose AdobeRGB from the BenQ's list of color modes. If I read and understood at one time why that was, I've since forgotten. I'm told my display comes with hardware/internal calibration, and that this is "better" than the software equivalent. Brace yourself for potentially stupid questions and statements. Disclaimer: despite years of on and off efforts, I continue to find color management/calibration to be an intimidating, somewhat maddening area of expertise. I am using it with a Windows 10 machine, a Colormunki Display, and Displa圜al 3.8.9.3, and have run into some issues. I am the owner of a new BenQ SW2700PT, fresh out of the box.
