Expert Console
In the Expert Console you have access to all of the settings in one screen.
You will first select the display you wish to calibrate from the drop-down menu.
Below that, you can choose a custom target that you created previously, or
choose a standard target from the list, the 2.2-6500 120 is the usual default, but
feel free to change it to what you need for your purposes. The White point and
Gamma menus allow you to select presets or type in the exact value you wish to
obtain.
Under the luminance section you can choose “Visual” or “Measured Mode”. In
Visual Mode you will let the SpyderX measure the room light to define the
brightness target needed for your particular room. In Measured Mode you can
enter a custom value in cd/m
2
as a calibration target.
Under “Options” you have a checkbox to view your calibrated monitor vs an
uncalibrated setting by checking or unchecking the box. Turning on Room Light
Compensation will allow the SpyderX to read the level of lighting in your room to
properly set the brightness and contrast of your display. The final dropdown is
the Grey Balance Calibration with Better, Faster (recommended) and off. Better
will do an iterative Grey Balance which, though taking longer, will give a more
precise calibration. Choosing faster will do the minimal Grey Balance required to
get a calibration.
Once you have made your selections, click “Next” to begin the calibration
process.
