FYI: Sony E200 ICC (by eye one 2)

[forbytes]

Hi KM shooters,

Disclaimer: Due to aging, some of the monitor will perform differently. What I put up here is generic in nature. If it works for you, that is fine. If you find it too warm or otherwise, please engage someone to personalise it for you please. Do not me please.

Click here to download the ICC profile for Sony E200 monitor ICC profile calibrated using Eye One 2. This profile will only work if you use the below setting for the monitor.



and brightness and contrast set to:

[forbytes]

1) save the ICC profile into your harddisk and remember location.
2) right click anywhere in your desktop
3) select "Properties"
4) click "settings" > "advanced" > "color management"
5) select "add" and choose the ICC profile
6) set as default and apply

no point.

not only different monitor will perform differenty, different graphic card will affect the colour too

[forbytes]

Oh, I see. However, what if the user did not change the colour curve in their graphic card and gamma set as recommended at 2.2? Please advice.

[forbytes]

In fact, every monitor comes with a driver and a generic ICC. Some users simply did not use them or does not know of their existence. It have not mentioned anything about being sensitive to graphics card. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Each profile is unique to each system. Generic profile just gives a close approximation.

The best you could do is to adjust the image to your calibrated profile and hope that others have calibrated their monitors.

Cheers!

The icc profile included with the better sony moniters is calibrated to a gamma of 2.5. It's rather useless for our purpose and isn't accurate either.

Using calibration patterns and doing it by eye is more accurate than using someone elses profile. There exists significant variances between individual moniters such that when u put multiple moniters of the same make and set them to the same settings, there is usually a noticeable between each.

I suppose the purpose of not doing it by eye and leave it to equipments to calibrate is to provide a standard platform for everyone to view the image. Some people like images a little cold, some like it warm. Hence there is not "correct" answer to this type of question.

If you calibrate according to reference test patterns you can get a your moniter rather well calibrated to +- 0.1 gamma accuracy. Subjectivity can be insignificant in this case.

Providing generic profiles is illogical and futile, as individual device variance and ambient lighting conditions will render it totally invalid.
