Im using windows 7 and in there we have calibrate display colour. I have my slider right at the bottom with my HP 2210I monitors brightness and contract at 100%
This makes Eves space very dark but stars etc very bright.
Do you guys do any different? do you like a brighter black as suck?
Like a cadburys cream egg...
How do you do it :) |

I do it with, ummm, 2 cables in each monitor? I think one is the power and the other is from the computer, or something. I don't change the brightness or contrast. Some artist worked very hard to make the graphics in Eve. I'd hate to not see it how they wanted it to be. |

I think this depends on the model/brand of monitor you use ... and how accurate your eye is.
I personally do not bother with calibrating as I am too busy getting blown up to worry about it ISD Praetoxx Ensign Community Communication Liasons (CCLs) Interstellar Service Department |

You do realize that different monitors display colors in different ways right? Calibrating the monitor properly does not mean it wouldn't show how the artists intended them to, in fact it means quite the opposite. |

Why would it be so hard to make a monitor show the correct colors? Shouldn't they do that right from the start?
Edit: Don't worry about the OP setting his to 100%. It's completely normal to do that. |

It depends on the components which all have specific tolerance values (think of it as a slight variation to what they are supposed to be), this along with other things result in slight differences between each and every single monitor, even from the exact same models. In general calibrating isn't an issue for the regular user though, only for those who do graphics work with their computer.
The same goes for stuff like TV sets. Go to a store and you'll always see the cheaper models with seemingly poor colors and the more expensive ones that are looking good. The trick in that is that the expensive ones on display are calibrated while the cheaper ones might actually be intentionally set to look poor in comparison. |

If you can see all shades of grey on this bar from 0-100% you, unless you're in the art/printing business have come a large way properly calibrating your monitor. Hi, I'm CCP Arrow, I screwed up the.. ummm... |

Quick google revealed that for your monitor this: http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitors/magictune/magictune_01s.htm would be the best tool to use for calibrating it. It should come with instructions on how to properly do the calibration too ranging from the usual gamma, contracst, brightness and the RGB levels. It's a bit of a work to do but once done the color separation will be much better and it shouldn't strain the eyes that much even when working long hours in front of it. |

Disagree, if I make my monitor able to see all steps it looks uber rubbish. I can see 20 down to step 15 but then all black.
If I make them visible its so bright its crazy. |

I did the mistake of replacing one of my monitors before after it broke - that make me see how really bad the other one was too haha
With two brand new I don't bother calibrate it for EVE, was better aiming to calibrate them to make me edit my photos properly - which turned out to be pretty good factory default.

I used my IIyama ProLite E2473HDS straight out of the box.
Even after using it for some eight months, I still occasionally find myself being pleased at how good the colours etc are.

(a) you have to know for what kind of work you want to calibrate your monitor for - e.g. an artist doing work that will be printed needs different settings to get a fair impression of how the actual result will look like than somebody whose work is destined to be viewed on TV monitors. Also ambient light matters a lot (which is something the manufacturer of your screen can't get right).
(b) consumers don't like an accurate representation of colors - they prefer their colors "vibrant" and the contrast high. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

i often play with curtains closed since i'm quite obsessive about contrast etc. I'm a firm believer that shadows in space (ie the dark side of your ship) should be jet black, or near as damn. My monitor is pretty much calibrated perfectly according to several scales and tools, but then just a notch or two (on a scale of 100) towards higher contrast. These leaves me with bright, vivid colours, clear texts, and jet black shadows. Mmmmmm crisp. |

I calibrate my displays (PC and Mac) with a Spyder 4 Elite ( Ddatacolor Corp ) because I do a lot of photography (working to build a business to get out of the daily grind). Monitor calibration really isn't needed for gaming, tho... |

I don't know. Most of the stuff in this thread is gibberish to me. All I can do is post pics of various experience I had with monitors. Like this In before lock. |
