VIdeo COlor temperature
« on: March 05, 2004, 04:09:39 AM »
Can any of you find a utility for me that allows you to change the color temperature of your monitor?

I had one before and I can\'t find it.  MOnitors burn at like 9000k and I need it to burn at 3200k.  

Any time I shoot video on my show the darn computer screens look blue and I have to put corrective gels on the forn tof the monitor in order for it to look alright.  SO I just put up with it.

I\'ve been searching, but I cna\'t find it.  FIgured one of you may already have a utility that allows for this.

With every monitor I\'ve ever owned, you can set that right in the hardware menu (buttons on the monitor).  Take a look through to see if it has preset settings for 5000k 6500k 7800k and 9000k.

If you have photoshop, you can use Adobe Gamma to adjust your monitor\'s look to your input.

If your monitor doesn\'t have preset settings, you can adjust the red/green/blue settings to make it warmer.

I found my NEC MultiSync 97F have three color temperature setting.  9300, 7500, and 6500k setting.  The 7500k and 6500k setting looks very good.  Esp. 6500k setting look pretty close to 6500k across the grayscale on my untrain eyes.

You can also overclock your graphics card, disable vsync (if needed), manage a dual head setup, and set the right signal to your TV if you need to.

THat\'s it!!!!

Powerstrip..  Thank you so much.

The monitor only has two options, 9000 and 5000 kelvin.  Way more than the 3200 I am trying to reach.

Thanks guys.
