results of the pre-calibration capture will be used at the end of the Advanced Calibration workflow to compare
the monitor’s performance before and after calibration.
Adjusting Contrast
Use the “Adjusting Contrast” page of the Advanced Calibration workflow to optimize the contrast settings on
your monitor.
Note: Not all monitors have adjustable contrast settings. Skip this page of the workflow if you are unable to
manually adjust your computer monitor’s contrast.
Follow the instructions listed on the “Adjusting Contrast” page of the Advanced Calibration workflow to
measure and correct your monitor’s contrast settings.
To accurately read measurement results, you will need to open the help panel from the Help button provided
at the bottom of the screen.
Adjusting Brightness
If your computer monitor has manually adjustable brightness controls, click the AutoCal™ button
(shown at left) on the “Adjusting Brightness” page of the workflow to optimize brightness settings.
Monitor Optimization
Use this page of the workflow to select the optimal color temperature and white balance settings for your
monitor.
Follow the instructions within the workflow to take readings of the available color temperature settings on
your monitor. Use the RGB Balance chart provided to measure your monitor’s variance from ideal color
temperature settings.
Create History Tabs at the top of the CalMAN RGB screen to aid in tracking the
measurements for each color temperature setting.
When you have finished collecting color temperature measurements with the Read Series button
(shown at left), use the instructions provided within the workflow for selecting the proper color
temperature setting for your monitor.
Ultimately the correct setting will be whichever color temperature measured nearest to the yellow target lines
on the RGB Balance chart within the workflow.
