So instead of using native white point I have this concluded that at 5000K would be a naturally choice. I have the brightness at my monitor at 100, the rest of the settings are at factory default. I have tried with the daylight locus and the planckian locus:
dispcal -v -c1 -yl -m -t 5002.78 d50
White Correlated Color Temperature = 5025K, DE to locus = 5.5 White Correlated Daylight Temperature = 5026K, DE to locus = 1.0 White Visual Color Temperature = 4909K, DE to locus = 5.3 White Visual Daylight Temperature = 5009K, DE to locus = 0.9
And here with planckian locus: dispcal -v -m -yl -c1 -T 5000 T5000
White Correlated Color Temperature = 5013K, DE to locus = 0.0 White Correlated Daylight Temperature = 5011K, DE to locus = 4.8 White Visual Color Temperature = 5014K, DE to locus = 0.0 White Visual Daylight Temperature = 5114K, DE to locus = 4.6
At lest the error is much better than with native white point. But I think there is some more banding and maybe some color cast compared tonative white point.
Yes, that is to be expected when largish adjustments are made using 8 bit LUTs.
I also really wonder why the native white point is so far away from locus?
Hard to say. If it were a CRT, the answer would be that the guns need a tweak. Since it is an LCD, it is mainly down to the backlight color, unless there is some sort of adjustment still being made by the display electronics.
I have also tried higher temperatures but I don't think my monitor have enough brightness to do that. Another nice feature of my monitor are, If I do a recheck after some time the white point may be off with 0.5 DE or even more to locus. :-(
That's pretty good given that CRTs and Fluorescent backlit LCDs can drift quite a bit with time (warm-up) and temperature. Even LED backlit monitors can shift somewhat. cheers, Graeme Gill.
