Not monitors with sigmoid-curves. +RATIONALE + Few users have calibration hardware, and CRT monitors can + be sufficiently calibrated manually without them. However, + before crt-calibrator the best way to calibrator CRT monitors + was to have specialised test images, with colour bars and + samples. But this requires expertise, the common user will + know how to contruct these images or the best procedure for + applying the corrections. And it is tedious if you do not + find any interactive tool for change changing the settings. + The alternative why was to use test pictures that relied on + you deciding what looked most realistic rather than the + image itself telling you. But that's not all, to my knowledge, + this is actually the first program that runs outside a + display server. + SEE ALSO analyse-gamma(1), blueshift(1) |
