However, this means your very deep shadows will be less accurate in colour terms.

Absolute here means 'use the full native contrast ration of the panel and set the black to the lowest possible point'. Set as appropriate.īlack Point - (NB Updated November 2020 thanks to the new contrast feature in PME!) This setting depends on whether you want the deepest possible black, or the most accurate black. In the video space, different gammas are often used, such as 2.4. Gamma - For almost all still imaging work, this should be 2.2. If you're doing video work, and you are trying to simulate TVs etc, you will probably want to use a higher figure, or even Maximum for the luminance. 100 cd/m2 is a good starting point, so that's what we have set here. your prints are always darker than you expect, re-calibrate and set a lower figure here (or vice versa if prints are lighter, use a higher figure here). Luminance - For most print work, somewhere in the range of 80 to 120 cd/m2 is typically appropriate. If you want to constrain the gamut of the monitor, or are aiming to work to a video standard, you could choose e.g. RGB Primaries - BenQ monitors are wide gamut monitors, and we want so see and use all that lovely colour, so we choose Panel Native here. We use 5800K here, which has become a de facto standard for many working in fine art print. Alternatively, if you're doing your own printing (or printing with us here), you will probably find a warmer whitepoint gives you a noticeably better screen to print match. You should probably use this if you are using a typical photo lab for your printing, or entering images into your camera club etc.

Whitepoint - The industry standard whitepoint is 6500K (AKA D65). You can set the following things, and here we provide some basic recommendations, but feel free to ask for more advice if you need it. On this page we choose appropriate settings for the profiling and calibration to follow.
