[argyllcms] Re: How far _should_ my monitor be off?

Hi,

dispwin -V tells me of
only 2.7% discrepancy between the profile and my uncalibrated monitor,
in fact.
For comparison, the calibration on my CRT noticeably lightens the midtone-to-shadow region, and dispwin -V reports a difference of 7.5% I daresay that could be improved upon if I tweaked the monitor's controls and recalibrated, so the calibration has less work to do.
The same test on my laptop, which has a really lousy screen, reports a discrepancy of only 12.9%. That's for a calibration which corrects for a significant blue cast.
So if your monitor is generally well behaved, 2.7% isn't too implausible a figure. 

All the best,
