CCMX from calibrated monitor?

[HaJo Schatz]

Hi group,

Sparsely using CH1 user here. I always struggled with the red shift, hence pretty much ignored calibration. Recently I bought a Dell laptop and a Dell monitor which according to reviews are out-of-the-box calibrated well for 100% sRGB. When I ran Colorhug over them they turned red, of course ;-)

Now I was wondering -- if I assume that the displays are well calibrated already; can I then somehow create a CCMX without a spectrometer? I could then use this in the future when the displays age. Hopefully...

Thx a lot!

If you don't have access to a spectro, then you can use the display EDID
to generate a CCMX from it. This is done automatically if you use
DisplayCAL and set measurement mode to "Auto" (only available for the
CH1 and CH2).

Hi HaJo. I'm surprised you're still having trouble with a red shift. I had it for a little while but I don't have it now. Maybe we can help. What settings do you use when you calibrate?

Thx for your replies, Florian & Garry,

I went to it again and can't tell what I've done earlier -- but indeed I have now an ICC without any red-shift. It looks almost exactly identical to the factory calibration - I have to look very very carefully to see any difference.

Maybe it's the "Auto" mode that solved it. I guess I might have selected the wrong mode previously. Happy CH1 user here :)

Thx again,

Hajo
