Post subject: Monitor Calibration. Colorvision Calibration Looks Incorrect

I have just changed computer and from a pair of Sony Trinitron CRT monitors
to a pair of Dell Ultrasharp 1707FPV's.
I have tried to calibrate using Color vision Spider, but if gives a
red/magenta colour cast, particularly noticeable on whites and skin tones.
So, I uninstalled Colorvision Spyder2, and reinstalled Adobe gamma loader.
The colours look OK with Adobe gamma and no red/magenta colour cast, however
the screen seems too bright (maybe it's just me coming from my CRT
monitors).
Any ideas to know whether my screen is actually OK as it is?
BTW, I am not calibrating for my computers printer, as I get them printed at
a photo lab if required. |

Has anyone tried using one of the DVD calibration systems, like they
use for high end home theatre setups?
Something like Video Essentials? |

You may have to increase the gamma on the LCD screens so that adobe
gamma bars look correct.
On my LCD I have to make the gamma 2.65 >> Stay informed about: Monitor Calibration. Colorvision Calibration Looks Incorrect |

Hello Rita
Yeah, I have the detachable filter. You take it off for CRT's and leave it
on for LCD's. I calibrated with the filter on.

OK Rita.
At the moment I will stick with Adobe Gamma, until I get time to 'play'
properly.
