Re: Diplomatic approach to clients with badly set-up monitors

[Bob Cole] "on my own range of PC monitors, the same video can look too-light, perfect, and muddy."

Bob,

A friend loaded me his Spyder -- a monitor calibration probe with accompanying software. The Spyder only works on computer monitors, and as one might expect, even calibrated computer monitors are not absolutely 100% spot on with broadcast and HD monitors in every single way (as they do display color differently). However, I must say, luminance, contrast and gamma are very close all around, and all of my monitors display quite reliably now.

Best of all BTW, every computer monitor I have is now in agreement, so I'm never confused about which to trust and which to not to. For piece of mind, I highly recommend you get yourself a similar tool.
