Hi there, Any light shed on any if this would be most helpful. Even just the 1st paragraph. I expect sleep onset by the 5th one!
Could anyone explain how Monitor resolution settings affect images, consistency with colour calibration using a Sypder over 2 or 3 monitors, if refresh rates make a difference - how you make a decision about what resolution, refresh rate to use? I am looking for colour consistency across two Lacie screens, no size distortion obviously images need to look square if they are shot square - I am currently setting the new monitor to the old monitor resolution and refresh rate to get consistency. I want images close as poss in size and colour. I am setting up two Lacie Electron Blue monitors, a new 19" Electron Blue IV on OSX an older 19" screen OX 9.2.2 1. Regarding Resolution settings in the system preferences/displays. OSX or OS9.2 Monitors window. The older machine had a setting default setting at 1024x768 refresh at 85hz. The newer machine had a diff default setting. Setting the newer monitor at this diff default 1280x960 hz made the pic (square) very rectangular. They both have diff max resolution settings. I am calibrating with Precal + Optical + a Spyder - I see the resolution setting affects this process. Should I try to keep the white point values the same across the machines on both monitors considering the undividual guns are only accessible on the new monitor. Any top tips on calibrating 15' Laptop screen with Spyder at a default setting of 1280x854 - and matching it to the two Lacies!? (also with Spyder). I've checked the manuals - no info on the above - they just give a max resolution setting. I've asked Lacie who gave no specific answer other than set it at higher resolution for fine image work. The joy of colour monitors.
