| PROFILING
A MONITOR 1
I1Match offers two modes for profiling monitors, Easy and Advanced.
Easy mode uses the monitor’s current setup, without requiring
you to make any adjustments to the controls. Advanced mode allows
you to optimise the monitor’s contrast and brightness settings
and, depending on the monitor’s capabilities, can allow you to
set the whitepoint to one of a range of values. The following
process is an example of using advanced mode to profile a CRT
monitor with a full set of colour adjustment controls.
The first step is to select whether you will be profiling an LCD
or CRT monitor.
Next you calibrate the Eye-One by placing it on the calibration
plate.
i1Match then asks you to select colour temperature and gamma values
for your monitor; you have the choice of specifying a particular
colour temperature from a list of options (5000K to 7500K in 500K
steps) or using the monitor's native whitepoint.
You now attach the Eye-One to the monitor, making sure it avoids
the area used by the monitor’s on-screen display and the upper
right-hand corner which is used by i1Match to display status information.
