The colour temperature of the backlighting gives the monitor a ‘native white point’. Wide CCFL gave a noticeably greater colour reproduction range and slightly warmer colour temperature than CCFL – and my old monitor was fitted with WCCFL back lighting, hence I used to be able to do my monitor calibration to near 98% of AdobeRGB.ĬCFL back lights have one major property – that of being ‘cool’ in colour, and LEDs commonly exhibit a slightly ‘warmer’ colour temperature.īut there’s LEDs – and there’s LEDs, and some are cooler than others, some are of fixed output and others are of a variable output. In my previous post I did mention one of them – the most important one – the back light type.ĬCFL and WCCFL – cold cathode fluorescent lamps, or LED.ĬCFL & WCCFL (wide CCFL) used to be the common type of back light, but they are now less common, being replaced by LED for added colour reproduction, improved signal response time and reduced power consumption. There are a few things to consider when it comes to monitor calibration, and they are mainly due to the physical attributes of the monitor itself. But I was favoring the Eizo CS2420, on the grounds of cost, both in terms of monitor and calibration tool options.īut I got offered a sweet deal on a factory-fresh Eizo CS270 by John Willis at Calumet – so I got my desire for more screen real-estate fulfilled, while keeping the costs down by not having to buy a new calibrator.īut it still hurt to pay for it! Monitor Calibration What have you gone for Andy? Well if you remember, in my last post I was undecided between 24″ and 27″, Eizo or BenQ. Okay, so I no longer NEED a new monitor, because I’ve got one – and my wallet is in Leighton Hospital Intensive Care Unit on the critical list.
