Re: Calibrating and HD LCD monitor with AJA color bars?

Bob,

Just to be clear I am not suggesting wasting any time probing a consumer monitor but if you have a lot of time on your hands do whatever you see fit.

FYI everyone when a monitor is turned off the gain and bias will drift. Which is why most high end facilities leave their monitors on all the time for greater stability.

If you don't do this then probing before an important color grading or production shoot session is paramount after the monitor has been allowed to heat up.

My point is if you as the end user are willing to accept and maintain your own quality control standards within established industry guidelines the end outcome will be long term repeatable results in spite of what the folks in NY Bob mentioned are willing to live with.

Must be a East coast thing cause here on the West thing are mighty different. Reminds me of when East Coast and West Coast on line editors had a feud over editing on field one or field two first.
