IMHO buy a calibration tool first (datacolor Spider is the most economical I think) as better to have an old calibrated monitor than a new non calibrated the pre-calibrated and the self-calibrating variety tend to be the more expensive quality monitors so a calibration tool invariably comes as the cheapest option. If you buy a new monitor that is not pre-calibrated, you will still have brightness issues since monitors out of the box can be too bright for photo editing. I have a Spyder 4 and like it a great deal. It is a bit time consuming but only costs you the prints. Send them off for prints and pick the one that looks right. The cheapest solution for light/dark issues could be to simply adjust your monitor's brightness in a stepwise fashion, adjusting the exposure of your image so it looks ok, then save it as a jpeg labeled for with brightness level. Light/Dark seems to be a bigger issue than colors, but I keep wondering.īeen looking at the Colormunki Display, or the i1Display Pro as they have rebates, but wondering if I should be spending money on a new monitor instead (tight economy)Īny thoughts on the calibration tools mentioned in the Subject line?īrainstorming here. So I'm running an old Samsung Syncmaster 216bw and using a Huey to calibrate it. Monitor calibration Spyder 4 vs ColorMunki vs i1display pro vs old Huey.
