Monitor calibration
11 years ago
I don't know if anyone else here is aware of it but, here is a free online tool that I've used to calibrate my monitors in the past; http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
Earlier today I discovered my monitor is in dire need of calibration, and I've been messing with that calibration website for a good 45 minutes now. No matter what I do I can't seem to get gamma and green saturation/rendering right. I've been able to get it looking pretty damn good in the past but, I can't even seem to get it close now... I guess my monitor is just getting old (even though it's only ~3 years old...). It's starting to look like a new monitor is going to be on my list of things I need. It's gonna have to wait a bit though, for now all my money is getting set aside for GFM in April (gonna be my first con woohoo! :D).
RE-edited the file from Jared Polin that I submitted earlier today, hopefully it looks a lot better than it did earlier. Even with my monitor still being noticeably off I can tell that at least a few of my other photos look like they're in serious need of being re-worked >.>

My current monitor is an LED monitor, TN panel. Was advertised as having greater than sRGB color reproduction (though not full aRGB). I'm a little disappointed that it seems to have lost so much ability to reproduce colors at this point. I would have expected it to have lasted a few more years... I do use it quite heavily so I imagine it's some form of pixel burn in but I'm not an expert on the finer workings of LCD displays so... Gonna have to think heavily on weather or not I'm gonna be willing to buy another samsung display again...
