A Nasty suprise...

    A month or two ago, I got my nice new 30" monitor, and all was well. I installed photoshop on it, and did my usual logo design jobs. However, I was slightly aware that the greyscale colours in photoshop were slightly brown coloured. I have ignored this for the past few months, and it's only now that I found the setting which changes it that I have discovered that the logo designs that I have made all have dodgey colours.

    Which is slightly annoying.. :(

    You can afford a 30" monitor and not a calibration kit? lol

    Didn't it come with a driver disk with a proper profile on it anyway?

    I think he used a credit card and not cash.. And no calibration kit available for credit cards users.

    Ah, don't forget to run calibration test from both the monitor and your software side programs. My old monitor had a slightly altered colors in the reddish region, but of course I knew that but I was too poor for a replacement.

    I ran into the same problem a while ago so don't feel bad! :) Afterwards I felt so stupid for skipping the calibration.
