Spyder Cal.
Question: How many people, that use the spyder to calibrate their LCD monitor, do not use the RGB sliders in the calibration procedure? In the cal. procedure it asks what adjustments your monitor has, RGB, contrast, etc..
If you say you have RGB sliders on your LCD, it warns that calibrating an LCD with the manual adjustment of the RGB sliders may yield undesirable results, and you may may have to recal.
I have calibrated both ways, manually adjusting the RGB values, and just letting the software automatically do its thing, and the results are different, bu not dramatically.
Manually adjusting the RGB values yields a slightly brighter result, but I can't really see a major difference on the scales on the top of the forum page. Anyone else play around with this??

Re: Spyder Cal.
Mike manualy adjusting the RGB sliders is mainly for calibrating more than one monitor for consistant colour, I use the native at 6500 2.2 gamma and its as good as it gets realy

Re: Spyder Cal.
For LCD, set the display to default. Choose Gamma 2.2, and color temp from 5500° to 6500°, depending on ambient light. The ISO Standard for color management requires 6500°, but the standard also specifies D65 fluorescent lighting. My Spyder will measure ambient light color temp, maybe yours does - if so, use it. Otherwise, let the software profile your display, with no adjustments to RGB or brightness and contrast. Be sure the the display is set to full output. This will create a good profile for you to use for editing images using a color managed app like Photoshop. If you use Canon's DPP, make sure you go into the preferences, and specify your custom profile for the monitor color space.

Re: Spyder Cal.
So when you profile your LCD monitor you should set the brightness to max?

Re: Spyder Cal.
in the spyder cal it suggests that brightness and contrast are left at factory defaults...usually 50% on each... on a crt the brightness and contrast are manipulated
