Dear all, I recently changed my colorimeter (I had a Spyder2, now I have an Eye-One Display LT) and I am facing what it looks to be a problem. I run dispread as I was used to: dispcal -t6500 -gs -k0 -b 100 -q h -v -y l eizoS1961 The problem I am facing is with gamma: dispread -r measures, with the profile obtained by using the command above, a gamma of 2.82 which is pretty high. I have not set any ambient light adjustment, therefore I do not understand why gamma is not 2.2 as it should be. The same command, with the Spyder2, was giving a gamma of approximately 2.2. The ambient light measured by argyll is approximately 14.5, but, as I said, I haven't used this parameter. Below the results of the calibration ad of the measurement. Any explanation will be highly appreciated. Best regards, Alberto Display type is LCD Target white = 6500.000000 degrees kelvin Daylight spectrum Target white brightness = 100.000000 cd/m^2 Target black brightness = native brightness Target gamma = sRGB curve Display adjustment menu: Press 1 .. 7 1) Black level (CRT: Offset/Brightness) 2) White point (Color temperature, R,G,B, Gain/Contrast) 3) White level (CRT: Gain/Contrast, LCD: Brightness/Backlight) 4) Black point (R,G,B, Offset/Brightness) 5) Check all 6) Measure and set ambient for viewing condition adjustment 7) Continue on to calibration 8) Exit Commencing device calibration patch 6 of 6 Black = XYZ 0.08 0.07 0.10 Red = XYZ 45.94 24.35 1.57 Green = XYZ 31.27 66.04 10.72 Blue = XYZ 17.82 9.48 97.32 White = XYZ 95.46 100.43 109.58 patch 48 of 48 Target white value is XYZ 95.047834 100.000000 108.839185 Adjusted target black XYZ 0.08 0.07 0.10, Lab 0.63 0.35 -0.30 Target black after min adjust: XYZ 0.075 0.070 0.098, Lab 0.635 0.349 -0.303 Gamma curve input offset = 0.000000, output offset = 0.000702, power = 0.000000 Viewing conditions adjustment aprox. power = 1.274936 Total Iteration 2, Final Samples = 32 Final Repeat threshold = 0.900000 Creating initial calibration curves...
