Not particularly hidden in your description, but easily overlooked, is the
monitor screen temp. Many people run their monitors at too high a temp
(6500 or higher) because, often on uncalibrated or improperly calibrated
monitors, those higher temps look better. IIRC, even one of the
calibration tools (Colorvision Spyder) it's suggested to set the screen
temp at 6500. The pro labs we work with here all suggest running a screen
temp @ 5000 or 5500.
I find this a bit confusing. My Samsung has two native colour temps, 6500 and 9300.
At 6500, the colour temp is much warmer than at 9300, I can only imaging how hot the temp would look at 5000.
Or am I missing something?
