New Wide Gamut Monitor

1 posts
  1. I just bought a factory refurbished Samsung XL20. It is an LCD panel with LED backlighting. It can use 8-bit inputs to write to a 10-bit internal LUT.

     

    It came with a X-Rite Huey specifically designed for the monitor and proprietary calibration software (natural color expert).

     

    Mine came with the Huey, but not the software ... (which I now realize I can download).

     

    Since it didn't have the software, and I already had a Spyder3Pro and the Colorvision utility installed on my machine, I profiled it with the Spyder3.

     

    Am I better off doing a real calibration with the Huey and Natural Color Expert or should I leave well-enough alone and use the Spyder3 profile I already made?

     

    I've read that the Huey isn't as good as the Spyder3Pro ... but even so, is calibration with the Huey better than a profile from the Spyder?

     

    I'm definitely at the bleeding edge of my technical understanding with this one ...
