If you scaled the XYZ values to make the white points agree, how much in error would other colors be ?I don't know and that's probably not the route to go, perhaps.
The reason I ask is simply that this is the form of calibration supported by the DTP94, and it will probably improve things. If you have the numbers, then you can figure out how much it would improve things.
Suppose I use dispcal to calibrate my Eizo CG221. Presently, this would only go as far as calibrating the monitor through the host video LUT -- not the monitor LUT. So, not a good solutino for this part of the work :(
Them's the breaks. Not much I can do about it, if I don't have one of each of the displays in question, to reverse engineer their in-monitor LUT's access. Of course if you use the VGA output and a video card with > 8 bit LUT entries, you'll get a better result with dispcal. Before assuming it's not going to be any good though, perhaps it's an idea to try dispcal out and see how it looks. I'd be interested in the feedback.
Then, conceivably, I could use targread to read the patches, with my CS-100, in some kind of manual mode, and then profile would build me the final 3DLUT monitor profile from my corrected CS-100 measurements! Bingo.
Would that work?
Sure, but you'd need to write a driver of some sort to capture the color values, since display calibration is interactive, and any manual means would be rather tedious. Graeme Gill.
