Monitor Calibration for Home Users
The website Boston.com have published a guide to the cheaper end of the monitor calibration market, looking at ColorPlus from ColorVision, Eye One Display from GretagMacbeth and a software program called DisplayMate (found via Digicamera.net).
“To test whether calibration had any effect on my printouts, I output photos before and after running ColorPlus. There was virtually no difference between the two images; they both looked good. Does that mean that the calibration didn’t work? Not necessarily.
ColorPlus did make significant changes to my monitor display, bringing it more in line with the printouts. Colors popped a bit more and the screen wasn’t as bright.”
