Hello everyone,

Just to have a little survey.
1) What temperature do you normally calibrate your monitor to?
2) Which tool/hardware do you use? (Spyder, EyeOne etc)

I am using i1 Display 2 and i1 Match systems. Many pros suggest for LCD use native white point, and for CRT, use 6,500 K.

I have used the Spyder 3 Elite before. I find it buggy and slow. In addition, I find the shadow details are better with the i1 Display 2.

Thanks for your replies.

I am using Spyder 3 Pro.
Calibrated to 6500 on the program recommendations.

I attended a workshop by Martin Evening organized by Adobe and Datacolor last year. He is using Spyder as well, but he suggested us to set the display white point to 'native'. The reason he said is the color temperature of the fluorescent tubes inside the LCD monitor will shift over time (assuming you are using LCD). It is better for the calibrator to recognize and adjust itself to the temperature change rather than we setting a 'reference' for it to match.

Ok. Will try this method when i do my calibration later.
Thanks for the advice.
