Monitor Calibrations / Colour management.

We were required to perform a monitor calibration on both a CIT studio monitor and our own personal monitor that we use at home (desktop or laptop) and report on the results by way of taking screen captures and giving a bit of a run-down in words.

I performed calibrations on the following monitors.

• EIZO FlexScanSX2462W Professional monitor - view it
• 15" MacBookPro  - view it

The monitor calibration device used for both was an i1|DisplayPro - view it

My first calibration was on the EIZO FlexScanSX2462W monitor in the CIT computer room. This was both interesting and easy to do thanks to the monitor's manual controls, that allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast as well as RGB values. The following images are screen-captures that were taken as i performed this.

I then made three attempts to perform the same series of tests on my MacBookPro monitor with the very same i1 calibration equipment, but was unsuccessful. It would run through all of the functions without a glitch, but simply wouldn't allow me to create and save a profile - i odd.

Anyway..

 The MacBookPro i purchased, features Apple's premium (non-reflective) display monitor and with a built-in monitor calibration, that allows me to perform a similar, yet less accurate calibration of the screen display. The following images are screen-captures that were taken as i performed this.
