Calibration and NEC Multisync PA272W Monitor

Hello everyone.

I got the NEC PA272W-BK-SV LED backlit wide range Desktop LCD with SpectraViewII. It dose come with her calibrator.  I also have the DataColor Spyder Elite.

Some say that it is better to use both because one dose the material and the other dose software.

According to NEC, is not a good idea to use other 3rd party Calibration tools.

What do you recommend.

Here's the info on monitor

Thank you very much.

It has nothing to do with it. This has to do with the level of precision of calibration adjustments.

None of this affects the file, just what you see on the screen. But all your decisions are based on what you see on the screen, which becomes unimportant.

quickly lead to adjustments of 8-bit video card strips and Posterization on screen. But if the adjustments are made in 16 bits internally in the monitor, and then released as a signal of 8 bits to the Panel, you get 256 steps uniformly distributed. No banding.

Of a whole other benefits, as a much more precise control on the white and black point. It is crucial to achieve a good screen to print match.

In short, keep the Spyder. It has served you well, but now it's time to switch to something much better - true hardware calibration with Spectraview, that works fully integrated with your PA

  • Appearance of color in Photoshop after calibration and Photoshop

    I bought a cheap monitor some time ago that claims to produce the range of Adobe RGB colors, NEC PA271W. I also bought a Display Pro X-rite i1, with software, colorimeter to calibrate my monitor.

    After calibration, the images appear right when displayed in Photoshop and print these images right on my professional printer with professional profiles, but these images appear incorrect outside Photoshop, when appears on my calibrated monitor. They appear too saturated and contrasty.

    When I check what profile is listed under the my screen color management tab, the default profile is the same as that among all the other profiles under Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color.

    What happens, I wonder. My video card is not compatible with the X-rite calibration process? The video card is the AMD Radeon HD series 7700.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm sorry, but you're wrong. This isn't how it works. You seem to confuse the calibration and profiling.

    Calibration is simple and linear response of the monitor correction. It affects all across the world. It is not part of the chain of color management, simply an adjustment of native behavior of the device.

    A monitor profile is a very detailed description of the monitor calibrated State. The profile is only used by applications that are color management. The operating system uses any profile, it makes only available for applications. The profile is loaded from the application at startup.

    The color managed application performs conversion of standard profile from source to monitor profile and sends the changed values to the monitor. Applications that are not color managed to ignore the profile and send straight numbers through unchanged.

    Normally, there is no reason to change anything in the title of the Windows color management, except that the profile is set as default.

  • Calibrated and profiled: now what?

    Now that I have calibrated and profiled my new screen NEC P221W w / puck/software SpectraView II (using a MacBook Pro w / OS 10.6), is there something else I should do to PSE8 to use the new profile?

    I use U2415 from Dell.

    I use the Spyder Pro 4. The process is quite simple - install the software, plug the Spyder and follow the steps listed in the program. I would recommend also, install the latest version of the software directly from the site of Datacolor instead to install from the disc supplied (probably outdated).

  • U2413 - factory Color Calibration and ICC profiles

    Hi, I just bought a U2413. I need for photography. There is nothing on profiles ICC U2413 DELL that was installed with the software in the documentation. And please note that I have not (yet!) a calibrator. I need to configure the best without calibrator... using the factory calibration.

    I hope you can make it clear, to me, how it works.

    The monitor has different MODES BUILT-IN, such as:
    -Color space sRGB
    -Color space ARGB
    -Standard
    -Game, etc.

    Which mode is the one that has been calibrated at the factory?
    What mode should I use in order to have the results of color?
    I see that there is no DELL U2413 color profile, D6500, which is associated with the monitor (I can see it in the control panel). I think it is good to have this setting. Can you please confirm?

    Do I set up the U2313 DELL ICC profile also to programs like Canon Digital Photo Professional, or as long as it is in Windows, it is not necessary? [Item 3 of this screenshot]. I see that if I put profile DELL in Canon DPP the colors of the photos appear much colder.

    Thank you

    If you do not have access to an i1DisplayPro/Color munki display a yo do not have the possibility to calibrate (not even in GPU with the munki:)

    factory calibrated
    -sRGB: 50 50 brightness contrast. You can use standard sRGB.icm, once lower you it up to 120cd/m (20-25% brightness) you will lose the white point calibration.

    -AdobeRGB: contrast 50 50 brightness. You can use standard AdobeRGB1998.icm (complatible or ones like Clay1998.icm), once lower you it up to 120cd/m (20-25% brightness) you will lose the white point calibration but less than sRGB. For color management programs and without perhaps a colorimeter its your safest choice, do not forget to assign and activate an Adobe1998.icm/Clay1998.icm in Control Panel of Windows to your monitor while you're in this preset OSDdevice.

    The other preset OSD are not calibrated at the factory.

    -standard is delivered with the native range (as described in U2413.icm of pilots) and native white (whie 6700-7000K with a strong green tint)

    -Custom is delivered with the native range (as described in U2413.icm of pilots) and native white (whie 6700-7000K with a strong green tint), but you have access to the parameters of "custom colors". 20-25% brightness, contrast 50%, and R = 100, G = 91 = 97 peut give you near D65 white and 2.26 "grow" gamma (cose to 2.2 or sRGB but I guess it comes with a ramp to a same gray except calibrated). Try these setings and activate U2413.icm in this preset custom of the OSD.

    And get an i1DisplayPro, you really need.

    Canon DPP regarding:

    2 refers to the "default" image profile
    3 to view the profile (so the DPP can distort the RGB values in the image to represent this color in what that is the range to your screen). Once you set a dile icm as 'default' in the control panel-> color management-> your device it shoud check the option "use operating system settings" (I think, I don't have any owm a canon camera)
    5 a your printer profile, a profile for each combination of inkjet paper
    6. keep this, perceptual is generally more 'alive' than the actual image
    7 I think takes forever with Canon programs (but I am not a canon camera, so I have not tried their meaning), keep the same as 6

  • 17 3200 envy: Envy 17 3200 screen flickers and dies. External monitor works. (Video included)

    Hi, I bought my laptop about two years ago. A few days ago the screen suddenly dies, and at startup, it flashes several times with the correct display, but then turns off. The backlight seems to stay on. When I use an external monitor with HDMI port, the external monitor works fine, however, the laptop screen remains empty. Here's a video of what it looks like when I first boot the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmro4P1NmyY & feature = youtu.be , how can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Wes

    @Saichotic ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  It is somewhat a problem when it comes to laptops that comes up from time to time.

    The reason is there is a cable connected to the motherboard that goes back through the hinge area and connects to an inverter that powers the monitor.

    Once the cable wears out, but more often just to move General around get you a loos to the inverter or the motherboard connection.

    Here is a link to your Maintenance and service guide. You can use this to help pull the cable and inspect the connections.

  • WSD port for printers and TCP/IP ports monitor, what is the difference?

    There are a lot of discussions on IP etc. addresses for printer problems. There is no mention of a new feature for the port for printers, WSD port for plug-and-play printers, I assume that the IP addresses have no importance with WSD, my printer is vaguely configured for the WSD port and TCP/IP port, can someone please expain

    Here is a description I found

    The WSD Port Monitor is a new printer port monitor in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.  This port monitor supports printing on network devices that are designed to include Web Services for devices (WSD) technology.  Services Web for devices allows devices connected to the IP-based network announce their functionality and to provide these services to customers using the Web Services Protocol.  Clients and devices WSD communicate on the network using a series of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages on UDP and HTTP (S).  WSD for devices offers a plug-and-play network experience that is similar to the installation of a USB device.  Services Web for devices also defines a security profile that can be extended to provide additional protection and authentication by using certificates based on the device.

    WSD is not a port, but a port monitor.  A port monitor looks at information from the TCP/IP port and makes routing or changes based on what happens in the port.

    This link has some in the description of the depth of the WSD port monitor:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/02/11/WS2008-the-WSD-port-monitor.aspx

    Back to the comparison of the IP address as a P.O. box.  Once the letter arrives in the POST box, someone needs to come empty the box or letters are going no where.

    When the data comes in the TCP/IP port a port monitor is where I look for that to happen.  The WSD port monitor would take over this function from the standard TCP/IP port monitor.

    I wasn't doing anything particularly interesting when my computer just turns off randomly. I pressed the power button to turn it back on, I can hear the fan and things of the machine but nothing appears on the monitor. I pressed on and maintained the power button to turn it off and try again, it does not turn off. He is stuck with the computer on but a blank screen.

    Don't know what to do, I can't turn off, and he's not doing anything.
    Could try to put the recovery disks to see if it's nothing, but I'm worried about the files I have saved on the desktop (stupidly)

    Hi colhyena,

    I agree with Akuma. The same instructions posted by Akuma I found here:
    [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

    So that s what you can do and if it s does not you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

    Qosmio X 505 is newer model laptop so probably yours is still under warranty. In this case, the repair is free and you don t have to pay anything. :)

  • Calibration and Simulation PCI-5112

    Hello

    I work in a lab where they use the PCI-5112:

    http://www.NI.com/PDF/manuals/373495b.PDF

    I had a few questions.

    First of all, I would like to simulate this device on my computer using NOR-DAQmx, so I can play with a program we have on another computer with the actual hardware. However, it is not in the list when I try! Is it possible to "import" the PCI-5112 so that I can simulate it? If not, is there a similar device which recommends to someone?

    Also by reading the specifications for PCI-5112, I saw this:

    Ranges of vertical calibrated; ± 25 mV to ± 25 V in steps of 10%

    Just to be sure, this means:

    ±25mV, 27.5mV, 30.25mV, 33.275mV, etc...

    Or does this mean:

    ±25mV, 27.5mV, 30mV, 32.5mV... etc...

    Therefore, if I select a voltage outside these values range, he finished not calibrated? Or he rounds up my entry to the beach close to calibrated?

    I guess that the same answers to the question above also apply to the range of calibrated offset?

    Finally, I have seen that the source internal must be calibrated to an external source, every year and the auto-calibration every 24 hours. I know that for some my lab is not the automatic calibration every 24 hours, and I guess that they never made it to an external source. With our experiences, however we are only concerned with the decay of an exponential signal measurement. Therefore, calibration would be a moot point?

    Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the multitude of questions!

    See you soon

    If you do not have external calibration, the values that you get from the card will be not as accurate as the data sheet says they are.  This may affect the time and voltage values and time values will be less made, since the clock uses a quartz oscillator, which is very stable.  Since you are using to measure the speed of decomposition, you should probably be OK.  If you need really accurate timing, you can drive the 5112 from an external clock source that has been calibrated recently.

  • W530 and Mini Docking Station - monitor not displaying at boot time

    I have a W530 (2441A 53) and I just the mini docking station for it (433835U). We are using PGP Desktop, then when I start my laptop, it prompts me for a PGP password. The monitor does not display it for me at all. I have to go to the laptop, open it and enter the password (well, actually, I think I can probably get on the keyboard that I use with the monitor, but I don't see what is happening, and the docking station is in an uncomfortable situation). Once I get the password, and the machine gets more in the boot process, and then the screen finally shows what happens, and it's very well after this point (well, not exactly - it is not about taking advantage of the resolution of my screen - but I am not concerned about it right now).

    Is there a setting I should do in the BIOS, Control Panel, etc., so that the monitor can function during startup?

    In the BIOS, set the graphic display to the detection of Optimus discreet and set to 'disabled '.
