![]() ![]() With modern monitors, such as the Samsung 226BW the before and after made a little bit of difference (from slightly cool, to more nuetral) as Samsung and other new monitors seem to be better calibrated or setup straight out of the box. X-Rite ColorMunki Display Monitor / Laptop Calibration Side with foam protection for your screen. Once the first monitor is calibrated, you can then calibrate your second screen and tell it to calibrate to match the first monitor if required. After calibration you can save the profile with a specific name and then setup the device to be an ambient light meter. Using the advanced calibration method: If you need to adjust the brightness and contrast to get the best results, then it will advise you to during the process (so that the white luminance matches the aimed target (120), after this it advises there is approximately 5 minutes remaining. This does make the process longer but it seems easier to do it this way. Using the easy calibration method: You don't need to set brightness or contrast to match anything and the software will either calibrate your monitor "as is" or use ADC to set the brightness, colour temperature and luminance greatly increasing the ease of use. X-Rite ColorMunki Display Ambient Light Meter mode. Using ADC lengthens the time it takes to calibrate the screen, however it can be quite useful, especially if changing controls on your monitor is awkward. If you need to manually adjust the settings (on older monitors) and then re-calibrate it can be quite a time consuming process, especially if it takes you 5-10 minutes each calibration. On more modern displays the ColorMunki can set the brightness / contrast / colour using ADC for you, so you don't have to. With older monitors it's advisable to set the brightness / contrast / colour temperature to default settings, or your preferred brightness settings pre-calibration, the ColorMunki doesn't advise this before calibration, but I know other calibration tools often do. When profiling is due to be done again a pop up message will also remind you that you should calibrate your screen(s) again - the period of time between calibrating can be chosen after you've successfully calibrated your screen from 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks. X-Rite ColorMunki Display - Ambient Light Meter mode plus weight.Įach time you need to switch between the ambient light meter and screen calibration the software will show on screen how to adjust the device from one to the other making it very easy to do - you simply spin around the white cover.Ī taskbar icon shows in green if you're correctly profiled, and turns red when calibration is due. Tilting the monitor back slightly can help massively. However the device is designed for monitors that are tilted backwards (and up, facing you) - if you have monitors that are vertical ie not tilted back then the device doesn't attach firmly, it just floats in front of the screen. Placing the ColorMunki Display on the screen - the weight on the cable helps hold it in place. Installation of the software takes around 5-10 minutes, and then asks you to restart the PC (whether you're using Windows XP or Windows 7). ![]() Installation: You are advised to install the software on the CD before plugging it in. This makes it really easy to understand how to set up the device and use it in all the various methods, whether to calibrate your screen, laptop, or monitor, or to use it as ambient light meter.
