When done, the program will print gamma-ramp -information that is useful when setting the calibrations -automatically. If -.B FILE -is specified, this information is stored to that the file named -.BR FILE . -.PP -The program cannot be run from inside -.BR X , -it is required that it is run from the -.BR Linux\ VT , -otherwise known as the TTY. -.SH NOTES -.B crt-calibrator -should not be used to calibrate LCD (neither LED or TFT), plasma -monitors, or OLED. It should only be used to calibrate monitors -with nice gamma-curves, such as CRT monitors. Not monitors with -sigmoid-curves. -.SH RATIONALE -Few users have calibration hardware, and CRT monitors can be -sufficiently calibrated manually without them. However, before -.B 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. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR analyse-gamma (1), -.BR blueshift (1) -.SH AUTHORS -Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
