Monitor Calibration

I use GretagMacBeth EyeOne Display 2 Colorimeter for my monitor calibrations.


The newer wide gamut Dell 3007WFP-HC monitor can produce pronounced red cast when viewing images in non-color managed applications, such as the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Recalibrating the white point to a higher temperature (ex. 6700K) than default (5900K) can reduce the red cast significantly.

Vista has better color management but the browsers, IE7, Firefox 2 and Safari are still not color managed.


Please view the images at the original size for best results.

Hi, Nelson.

I just wondering, maybe you can share your 6500k white point calibrated profile for Dell 3007wfp-hc? Because i'v jus't bought the same monitor, and redish color on the skin tones realy makes me seek. Unfortunately i don't have any hardware calibration devices, and can't do nothing this that "red mess".

If you could share color profile, maybe you can give me some advices how to fix WFP-HC issue with color temperature?
