Color Correction/Calibration

>>3030661
you're fucked op, you get for what you pay, can't cheap out on a monitor and not even sure why your using a tv a monitor in the first place. as for the second question you need an external device that calibrates the correct color over your screen and those can cost quit a bit.

To be fair, your earlier monitor was probably off too, Vizio is well known for its lack of color accuracy.

There is actual hardware for colo4 calibration, your eyes will always be off.

Is a link to one of the cheaper well reviewed ones a simple google search gave me.

The TV I was using before actually had really accurate color, I remember making a big deal about that when I got it (gg dad). But you're right, it was a stupid move to cheap out, I did it really fast without thinking about it.

Okay good to know this is an issue that must be corrected with hardware, and although $100 is steep for me right now it looks like a worthwhile investment, thank you for finding that for me.
It seems cheaper options are limited to just once device per license.

If you have good options on your television you can do this

Nah colors on my last monitor were great, matched perfectly with my printer and macs I worked with. That was the problem, it was so good I never had to worry about it so I completely forgot it was even a factor when buying this cheapo monitor.

I actually tried this exact method but was never satisfied with the results, thank you anyway.

I ordered a secondhand colormunki off of eBay for 30 bucks, if this thread is around by the time I get it i'll leave a few words about my experience with it and hopefully fully recommend it!

You buy a 10 bit ips panel, colormunki and colorchecker and never worry about colour again.

Not that expensive desu
10 bit korean 1440p 27" monitor
$350
Colormunki
$150
Colorchecker
$80

Just fyi, your tv had shit colour too.

>10 bit ips
No idea what this was until just now so looks like I'll have to start saving up, thank you for the new information

>>3030803
10 bit isn't vital, ips is.

>How do you know when you've got accurate color?

Used i1 Dsplay LT + DispCal GUI. Cost me some $50.

Prove that they exist.

Googled it, found three.

1) it's $350 VA
2) hit
3) hit

Ok then, I hope that they really have 10 bit input.

And how exactly do you get 10 bit output from a consumer grade video chip btw? Last time I checked only AMD chips were able to do it and I did not find a single substantial confimation of that besides a photograph of a monitor showing that it accepts 10 bit - what does not matter at all because if you do not set up correct colour depth in video driver it will still feed video chip with 24 bit data.

get a load of this nerd

I have a Dell Ultrasharp 27" 1440p with pre-calibrated sRGB. Get fucked stingy nerd
