Hi,
I used to have a 19" LG Flatron F915 CRT monitor and about 2 months before the 3 year warranty expired, the monitor died and LG gave me a brand-new Flatron F900P to replace it with. The old 915 worked fine and I was able to calibrate it using both the OS X built-in calibrator and a Spyder Pro hardware calibrator that I borrowed from work. Everything was hunky-dory with the 915.
BUT........
Now I have the 900 monitor and I want to calibrate it as well.
The problem I am having is that when the calibration process starts you have to turn your contrast to full (no problem here with that) and decrease the brightness until you can hardly see a difference between black and a specific grey-level.
Even with my brightness at zero, the screen is still way too bright. It looks like the monitor would need to be turned down to somewhere like -25 to -30, if that were possible, to get to the right point.
It doesn't seem to matter what color profile I start with (either default F900P, Adobe RGB, sRGB, generic RGB) the problem persists.
The screen isn't to bright to work with in day-to-day conditions - it doesn't strain my eyes or anything like that - but I'd just like to try and get it set-up correctly.
I hope someone has some advice that they can offer.
Many thanks in advance,
Matthew
