CALIBRATING YOUR MONITORS

COMPUTER MONITOR

This is a subject that could (and does) easily fill multiple volumes, but which we will sadly give short shrift.  It may not be quite as important to achieve ‘spot-on’ color calibration for the monitor used for the user interface.  Not surprisingly, video output color is best judged on larger downstream video monitors.

Nevertheless, you may find a trip to one of any number of websites providing test imagery and calibration hints useful.   A search for “computer monitor calibration” will yield an endless list, along with some commercial utilities for those who feel the need.  Here are links to several such sites:
