Hello.
I am using an HP Pavilion g7 with A6 Vision AMD/Quadcore and AMD Radeon Graphics, but I've been experiencing some yellow highlight/overlap in the last few days.
I would like to have some help calibrating my monitor.
I have used Windows 7's "Calibrate display color" but found it hard to use so I downloaded a program called "QuickGamma." Both of these helped to some extent, but I would like to know what to adjust my gamma settings to.
"A display gamma of 2.2 is the de facto standard for the Windows operating system and the Internet-standard sRGB color space. The standard for Mcintosh and prepress file interchange is 1.8. Video cameras have gammas of approximately 0.45-- the inverse of 2.2. The viewing or system gamma is the product of the gammas of all the devices in the system-- the image acquisition device (film+scanner or digital camera), color lookup table (LUT), and monitor. System gamma is typically between 1.1 and 1.5. Viewing flare and other factor make images look flat at system gamma = 1.0. To learn more, go to links."
from Monitor calibration and gamma.
"On the preceding page, we mentioned that the standard gamma value in a Windows environment is 2.2 and that many LCD monitors can be adjusted to a gamma value of 2.2. However, due to the individual tendencies of LCD monitors (or the LCD panels installed in them), it's hard to graph a smooth gamma curve of 2.2."
from Yet Another Gamma Correction Page
While these are somewhat helpful, they only refer to the overall gamma. Not the individual gamma ratios of the Red, Green, and Blue.
I was assuming that since my screen looks too yellow, I would have to lower the Green gamma by a significant amount, but after spending 12 or more hours total on trying to recalibrate my screen, I have decided to get help from others.
Thank you for reading my post. Have a wonderful day. :smile:
