"If you want to minimize artefacts on an LCD you want to set the
contrast and white points to their native values (ie. where the monitor
is not manipulating the digital signal levels). It may not be easy to
figure out what this is."
I agree with this and I have quite a few more controls than those -
making for an endless combination of settings. What tools are available
to get the monitor to the best point using the controls before one
calibrates? It would have to be something quick - perhaps measure DE
(or DE94 or DE2000?) based on a few points and report it on a
continuously updated basis? Ie, one could just turn the knobs and watch
for a drop in average DE.
I ask because I have a monitor that only gets worse (in some areas and
overall) when calibrated. So the criteria that calibration is using for
maximizing accuracy and what my eyes use are not the same. Ie, I want
to calibrate for "looks good and accurate overall", not some technical
error value that leads to mild improvements for most areas and
horrible/unacceptable results for other areas of the gamut.
