Color Calibration

AllstaRawR · May 16, 2014

Not sure if the title is misleading, but I didn't know what to call it. My H236HL's are driving me crazy. I mean, I like them a lot, but one of the three has way too much saturation. Any suggestions how to fix this? Just scaling down the colors didn't really help much...

For now it's in the middle so it at least looks kind of intentional. But the side two match... just not the middle.

Maybe try ordering a color calibrator

Color calibrator will generate a color profile which will allow you to have corrected colors in image software, and select software like Firefox, Outlook, IE, (not Chrome), and Windows photo Viewer, PhotoShop (of course), and Windows Live Essential Photo Gallery. However, the rest of system and in games, won't be.

Ok well, I lied a bit. It is true on most consumer grade monitors. Some monitors and pro grade ones allows the color calibrator (assuming supported), to control the monitor color settings directly, beside generating a color profile.

You want a monitor with a color processor to give you control to allow you to adjust: Hue, Offset, Saturation, and Gain settings on the monitor.

Example of monitors with such features: Dell U2413, Dell U2713HM, Asus PA248Q, to name a few.

Sweet, thanks! I actually managed to get them to almost completely match, finally. Just lots and lots of tweaking with the RGB... I just compared them to my friend's PA279Q. Should be close enough!
