Is my monitor - LCD Samsung 172 T - too Bright color manage?

Following the generous advice of forum members, I decided to invest in a colorimeter to properly profile my monitor which is a Samsung LCD 172 T.

However, I read several messages in the forum about monitor light problems. For example - that a monitor should be less than 120 cd/mr2 brightness level to display the appropriate image, and some saying that they cannot set their monitor LCD low light enough.

According to the specifications of my monitor my brightness of the monitor is 250 cd/mr2.  My screen is too bright for a camera of colorimeter to profile correctly?

For a colorimeter device I was considering the eye - one display 2 or the spyder 2 or 3.

Hi, Tom.

As crazy as it sounds, the manuals which came with two of my monitors absolutely NOTHING say about levels of brightness, max, or min.  I can tell you almost anything else you want to know.  My guess is that you won't have a problem.

Normally, you enter your target settings (white gamma temp, color, monitor luminance, if your software, black and luminance) in your calibration and profiling software and the software then you guide. On most LCD monitors except the most expensive, you really only have an analog control... the brightness of the backlight. The software will ask you reduce the brightness to the desired level and gives you the information when you are there.

Once the brightness of the monitor is together (IE, white luminance), with that software will display a bunch of spots of color values, and your colorimeter read one by one.  When it's done, he'll write corrections to your video card which will adjust to your screen to satisfy your target values and give you accurate color.  It's all part of the calibration.

Then, it will create a profile that describes the range of colors of your screen (limits), etc. Your profile will include a color lookup table or a set of color curves appropriate in any application of color management (Photoshop, LightRoom, etc.).

Calibration is automatically saved on your video card and should remain active until your next calibration of the monitor (make every 2-4 weeks for true colors). The profile will be in the default folder where all your ICC profiles, which differs according to the o/s.

If you cannot reduce the luminance of a correct level, you can download a software that will do it for you.  I didn't need or use this software with one of my Samsung monitors.

  • Color management - OK to set monitor color sRGB profile?

    Is there any problem if I set my monitor color profile for sRGB and Photoshop recognizes this and I use ProPhoto RGB as my workspace in Photoshop?

    Background:

    I got a general problem with color management where my pictures looked darkest in Photoshop then my Windows Photo Viewer by default or in Adobe Bridge.

    I did some research and finally fseemed to solve the problem, but I'm not sure on any of my settings.

    I use Windows XP, and the first great help came through a panel of color that you can download from Microsoft.

    Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/colorcontrol.aspx

    This utillity adds a panel color settings that you can access through the control panel. It's main characteristics are that it allows you to assign color profiles to devices, such as your monitor or printer.

    I'm using Photoshop CS4.  If you open the color settings dialogue box and look under the section workspaces, you can choose your workspace for RGB in the drop-down list. From my research, and since I'm editing photos, I concluded that choose Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB is a good choice.

    Also on this drop-down list, there is a choice called Monitor RGB. From my research, the opinion is that you should not set that as your RGB working space. However, a tip I've met is that if you look at the Monitor RGB choice it will tell what Photoshop is grateful as color of your monitor profile. For example, it will say 'Monitor RGB - Dell 217'

    Now, after the installation of the utility of color of Windows I am now able to define the color for my monitor profile. What I put is then recognized by Photoshop if I see it on this list.

    Specifically, in my utility of color I set my monitor to use the sRGB color space. Now when I go into Photoshop and color Setings and go dialog where you set the RGB workspace, I click the menu drop down and the list will be "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.»

    Note: I did not choose this as my RGB color space, I will just here to check what Photoshop is to see with regard to my color space of the monitor. I put it to my RGB color space to ProPhoto RGB.

    My monitor is a monitor de LCD Samsung 172 T.  Regarding the calibration of the monitor, I don't have access to a colorimeter device. From my research, I have found that by using the calibrator of software called Adobe Gamma is not designed to calibrate or profile LCD monitors.

    What I did: I use a graphics card based on nVidia with a control panel. The Control Panel has a display optimization tool. I used.

    Once again, my question-

    In the utility of windows color, I put my monitor color profile to sRGB. Was it the right choice?

    I have set to another profile that I have available called "Samsung 172 T."  But I do not know from which it came. Not sure if it was generated using Adobe Gamma a few years back, or the manufacturer.

    When I went to that profile my screen gets darker. Note: when I turn on in the Windows color configuration utility, then go in Photoshop, I can see in the color settings dialog box it now says "Monitor RGB - Samsung 172 T.

    I know that if I had a calibrator type colorimeter I would be able to generate an accurate profile for my monitor. In this case, you would set your monitor to this profile, rather than sRGB?

    Tom,

    Unless you have a crap monitor which is incapable of contoured with precision, never set your monitor profile to an independent color space of the device as sRGB.

    Calibrate your monitor with precision, regularly and often and use the monitor resulting as your dependent monitor of the device profile.

  • Colors in Windows 7 too bright/faded after running Windows Update for the first time (everything was going well after initial installation). See the details.

    I just installed Windows 7 Pro on a HP Pavilion with a HP w2007 20 ". I have had no problem of color first and everything worked fine. The first time I ran Windows Update, it included an optional update called "HP - display - HP w2007 LCD wide screen". That the update "has failed" to install and when I rebooted, my screen had a look very 'neon' - my desktop background, a picture of a tree with a bunch of Red leaves, was very washed out and now most of the leaves were bright red with no visible details. This is obvious everywhere, not only my desktop background (another example... small green circles next to the names of Gmail chat contacts are very bright green, more even than usual). Everything is too bright. I tried the following hotfixes:

    -Manually reinstall the update of the HP screen (it worked this time) and restart - did not work.
    -Reset my monitor to factory setting - has failed.
    -Download and install the latest HP driver for this monitor - did not work.
    -Through: "Control panel-> appearance and personalization-> display-> Calibrate color" and through an assistant color calibration (that's new for Windows 7?). Also, did not work.

    I have the dual-boot of Ubuntu installed on this machine and I think the colors under Linux are always very well, so I think it's a problem with Windows and not the monitor. Because it was working fine before, I would rather try to get everything worked, rather than the update manually the brightness/contrast of my monitor. Any ideas?

    A useful answer, I got on another forum (windows7forum.com). It worked:

    I had this problem too!

    In my case it is also explained by a driver from Windows Update called "nVidia display".

    Fortunately, I figured out how to fix it:

    1. Open Computer Management (start > right click on "Computer" > Manage)
    2. Select "Device Manager".
    3. Select 'show cards '.
    4. Right click 'NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT' (or whatever your video card)
    5. Click 'properties '.
    6. Select the 'Drivers' tab
    7. Click on the button "return to the version.

    Now I have 28, 33 and 36. All previous versions were the same and more accurate color. But, 36 makes all too bright and saturated. All pages. Even the icons of bookmark. Everything.

    Something has changed. Could have changed at 34 or 35, I skipped those. but here in 36 is definitely a problem.

    You can attach a screenshot?

    • Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot
    • Make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

    This may be due to a problem with the profile for your monitor screen colors or color profiles embedded in images.
    Try disabling color management to test whether it is caused by a problem with color management.
    You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the topic: configuration page to disable color management.

  • Satellite A210 - 11 p connected to the TV - the colors are too bright

    Just changed to the top of an A60. I used a TV S-signal with one SCART and it worked fine.

    Now on the new computer, the colors are too bright and washed out. I updated the driver but no luck.
    In fact, I find the screen on the A210 way too bright and had to calm colors to factory settings.

    Does anyone else find this?

    Any idea what the problem may be? I read the posts on the problems of black and white, but I have the color but too bright and washed out.
    Wait I got an idea of what the TV has two euroconnectors... on the second SCART, the image is black and white!

    How is it it worked well on the old A60. I'm really starting to miss that laptop. :(

    I have an A210 and I don t think that the screen is too bright.
    Fact is that some of the A210 notebooks are equipped with the real bright screen. This is a new display technology and it s great.
    I like it much better as common display without the true light.

    On my laptop satellite A210 colors are light and not washed out them. The display is perfect

    One question; have you noticed the same problem on the internal and external monitor or TV?

    > Waiting I have an idea of what the TV has two euroconnectors... on the second SCART, the image is black and white!
    Several months ago, I connected a laptop to my TV and the picture was black and white. The reason for this problem has been the assignment of pins badly on SCART cable then.
    On the other hand, it is possible that your s-video option was not enabled on the TV's.

    Thanks for your post Julian and welcome to the forums.

    What priority mode are photos taken in? By the looks of the way you explain the pictures, they seem to be most at risk. are washed out image or simply too bright? What are the lighting conditions and the brightness of the environment that the photos are taken in? You should check that your EV levels and shutter and ISO speeds. Adjust them accordingly for the desired shot. The following link gives some tips on how to take special pictures. :

    The obtained downsised image that makes it harder to see the question, but here are the largest part of the computer:

    The final copy is lower quality and way too bright. Noticibly too bright. Own obscurities turn into rough gray, and the quality is noticibly smaller as well. I checked the "use maximum render quality" and I tried to exportiing in AVI and MP4, and nothing is set. Any ideas?

    First, what type of file do you need?  If you are looking for the lossless quality then I suggest to export a file with Animation codec quicktime or some other lossless codec.  However, these types of files are huge and that they could not read on your desktop.  But if you go just to put this video on the internet, when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modify it to match your clip.  It is still not as good as the original, but you can't expect miracles when you work in SD and in exporting to H.264 format, which is a codec very first.  If you want to try to export Quicktime or AVI without loss, and then change the settings so that they get something like this:

  • On the 2nd monitor color management

    In the file of Lightroom_3_help.pdf ("update 03/12/2010') provided with LR3 (p22 low), it is said:

    «Note: Lightroom does not color - the view from the library on the second monitor module.»

    Is this correct?

    I have two monitors: one about the Adobe RGB (a HP LP2475w) range and the other about sRGB (an old Samsung), as well calibrated and profiled.  However, if the same image is displayed in library view on both, the colors displayed on the second monitor are virtually identical to those on the first.  It's true, no matter who is the main screen of LR and that is the second monitor.  But if Lightroom isn't a not color-managed the second monitor, the image would be likely sent as ProPhoto, which seems very very pale any monitor were the other.  Even though Lightroom has made the image as sRGB always on the second monitor, then there will be a significant difference when the monitor range were the second monitor (apparently not managed).

    Anyone can shed some light on this?  My tests suggest that the second control is managed by color.

    The display is fully color managed on both screens for me. It must be

    supported the monitors thus or otherwise second would be completely useless. It's

    that is trivial to do so as long as your profiling solution supports it

    true for all Macs and most modern windows machines. To me, this looks like to the

    Manual is simply false and the s sentence a vestige of when they first

    added bi-ecrans support. I remember there being color bug

    with it, then where he could catch the wrong profile display. It comes

    clearly not true anymore.

    PS Adobe Gamma? This tool has been deprecated since many years! Person not

    in their mind has yet to use it. Material calibration tools are

    cheap and widely available today.

    Folds in salvation,

    While all the video content crosses very well on my screen of 4 K TV, photos are coming across too bright, no matter what camera I use as a source (iMac, iPhone and iPad). No recommendation for this problem?

    Thank you.

    You have not specified what generation TV you use, but it is not really important. I'm not aware of any solution that allows for "by app" brightness adjustment. The only source that you do not list iCloud photo library, but I doubt it would make a difference.

    You might just find an acceptable compromise, or use one of the TV set pre-series (movies, sports, etc.) to switch to displaying photos.

  • Satellite A660-18 - screen too bright if the update to the BIOS?

    Hi guys, I need your help with this laptop because it gives me a lot of problems.

    I changed the screen of this Satellite A660-18 because one had been installed has been damaged. I installed and works fine but I have problems with the brightness. When I click - on brightness, it goes back and when I click on + it breaks down. It is much too bright and want to do something about it.

    Bios help to solve this problem and how Flash the BIOS on these laptops? I flashed the BIOS on desktop pc but on that I don't see any way to do it. Is it possible to fix the screen without changing the BIOS? Some have said that I have to Flash the BIOS as new screens do not work 100% with old BIOS.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hi sky blue,

    You have an original spare part of Toshiba (display) or is it a 3rd party screen? It is important to use the Toshiba spare parts only because they are tested and designed for your Toshiba laptop. If you use 3rd party parts, they may not work.

    The version of the BIOS has nothing to with the brightness of the display and the brightness of the display can be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination, but not in the BIOS.

  • Satellite A25-S279 - screen is too bright all of a sudden

    I went to the MS site for cleartype fonts and fooled. I did not like the cleartype fonts, so I manually turn off in windows and internet explore.

    However, something happened that is causing the entire screen to be very bright makes all the washed out colors. I plugged in the VGA output for a CRT monitor, and brightness/colors are there.

    My keyboard has been broken for a while, so I use an external USB keyboard, which means that I can not access the FN key. I did to in in Windows display properties, but the sliders he for the Trident card which adjust brightness, saturation, and tint cannot be moved. Sound like they are there permenantly.

    Also, I went into the Bios and made sure he was using the default settings.

    Anything else I can try? Do not have the restore CD.

    Thank you.

    Possibly there s nothing wrong with the brightness setting.
    You said that you don't like the cleartype fonts and have disabled manually in windows and internet explore.
    Perhaps this is a reason to deliver you

    Have you tried to put the BONE to this early time?
    I mean the point of time before you turn off cleartype fonts?

    I think that you should do this to make sure that this option screen brightness doesn t affect.
