I have decided to stick with Vista for a bit longer, as talking to the guy at Getrag Macbeth, you can allegedly profile different monitors on the same machine. Something XP could never do without some heavy tweaking.<BR /><BR />My question is... the 1920x1200 (1080) Dual LED Displays on the AR series notebooks are reasonably well calibrated and can nearly display the entire AdobeRGB colour space. Now if i profile the monitor to be more accurate for critical photo use, how will it affect High Definition movie play back AND, video editing? <BR /><BR />After profiling, will the S2 for Film Mode button change the display to the native Vivid settings or will it be relative to the new colour profile?<BR /><BR />I guess i should really just give it a go and report back. <BR /><BR />Short_Round.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Oct 2008 07:30:39 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/profiling-monitors-and-how-will-it-affect-the-s2-button-for-film/m-p/91237#M56353 alekoo8 2008-10-18T07:30:39Z Re: Profiling monitors and how will it affect the S2 button for Film Mode? https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/profiling-monitors-and-how-will-it-affect-the-s2-button-for-film/m-p/91241#M56354 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Happy New Year!
