Using our site
This images on this website are best viewed with a calibrated monitor. All monitors display colors differently, and without proper calibration usually involving special equipment, it's generally hard to set the monitor up perfectly by eye. As a result, what you see on your screen is not always what you get in print, and the print is usually better looking and more accurate than what an un-calibrated monitor displays.
This site can be best viewed if you can make the following grid look as neutral as possible, and still be able to make out all of the different patches.
Please note that this procedure is not considered highly accurate and
is not a perfect substitute for proper calibration using specialized
hardware. It is only intended to get your display as close as possible
to optimal viewing conditions without investing in expensive hardware.
1. First, adjust screen contrast to maximum, then reduce it until you
can see a difference between the left most, whitest blocks, on the scale.
2. Then, adjust the brightness until you see a difference between the right most, darkest blocks, on the scale. The black block (farthest right) should be as black as possible.
