Hey there on the most recent monitor review linus talks about graphs showing technical details from using this piece of equipment but it never shows up on screen. Is this a vessel related issue? If not, you might want to fix it, because the color spec's were just never shown.

 

Also quite the late night.... First post?

It's midnight. This is when we post every day lol.

There you go, what do I know. I seemed to think midnight would be unreasonable haha. Either way that 2560x1080p video feels like its missing something.

What's the difference between this expensive one and something much cheaper. Is it just accuracy or is there something else. Also don't manufacturers calibrate the displays before they get shipped out.

Its late, go to bed!

As to colorimeters, been using them for years (Spyder elites), frankly wish all monitors were calibrated as now I go and see some one elses screen and cringe at what are to me, obvious colour tints.

Also kind of enlightening, most screens that are new, are for the most part pretty accurate bar being too bright or dark when I tested them. Give them 2 years they loose that by some margin. Actually got a new monitor here, will keep an eye on that and see what the degradation in colour is like over each recalibration. 

Its not my fault I am grumpy, you try having a porcelain todger that's always hard!

I'll stick to using my eyes thanks

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

You should think about publishing for download the corrected profiles of the monitors you test Linus, with model and panel information. Most of the times they improve the panels' color quality without being specific calibrated, correcting general manufacturer mishaps. Its something being done in some AV forums I frequent.

Please take this into consideration, many, many of those that want to buy a new screen for up to 500$ maybe want to save that 1000$ and having you tell the result and if so changes they need to make. If you want to milk it, ask for donations to a special point and if you reach it, you will do it for every upcoming screen review. Hope you guys read this!

I might be being stupid, but why not just get the X-Rite Colormunki Smile for £70?
