Today I toke I shot at calibrating a client's monitor, a Panasonic BT-LH2550. I got a little stuck on the initial display setup process.
The thing is I first adjusted the brightness and contrast with the help of the images provided by Light Illusion. But when I measured the luminance of the display it was way too high, something like 200 nits. I then had to completely reduce the backlight to zero to get around 100 nits (my goal). Is that normal for a display to be at 100 nits when the backlight is at zero? In my previous experience, with my own FSI CM240, 100 nits equals a backlight setting of around 29.
And what is best practice here in the order of operations. Should I have started with the backlight and then adjust brightness and contrast?
If anyone has had experience calibrating a similar display please share some of the proces if you like.
Thanks! |
