...OH MY GOD WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

WHY HAVE I NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.


The colors are exactly what they should be. For a TN LED panel, I can now appreciate the 2ms response time, 120Hz refresh rate, AND the color.


Have you all calibrated your screens before?

I LIKE BB CODE IT

IS F

UN AND YES[/code]

Remember when you used to degauss your monitor?

SO GOOD

LOL. I do miss those days dearly.

You know what's better than calibrating a TN monitor?

Calibrating a monitor which isn't shit.

I.E - an IPS monitor.

I'll pass on the thick/heavy as fuck 800 dollar monitor with a shit response rate.

IPS IS NOT FOR (good) GAMING DAMNIT. Also, reason why I say thick is because I'd like to mount my monitors on the wall in the near future, and I'd like it to be light, and low profile.

Yes, the color looks amazing. However, there is a noticeable difference between 120Hz / 60Hz and 2ms / 7-9ms response. So for general purpose / gaming, my $325 monitor was a great idea. It won't be long before we have a panel which does it all, and costs significantly less due to competitive retail pricing.

If I was in graphic design, and didn't game that much.. Then yes, I would've gotten an IPS.

What software should I use to calibrate my monitor?

You need a colorimeter such as X-Rite i1, and calibrate your monitor using the software which comes with it. Software-only calibration is considered very inaccurate.

I'm not an expert though, just saying what I've heard.

The easiest way you can do it, is to google your model of monitor along with catalyst. People will usually post the calibrated settings for your model of monitor, in combination with calibrated settings on your GPU.
