Any good gamma tool for WinXP?
« on: November 06, 2003, 04:19:18 AM »
Yeah, well...

I've thrown out Adobe gamma because it's simply disfunctional. It bugs out and only works half of the time I switch on.

I got Coloreal nagware with my monitor. It's buggy in a different way; it doesn't remember profiles correctly (Quake, Desktop, etc.) so I can't switch w/o loosing my settings. It also works with the inaccurate presumtion that my perception is affected by my surroundings; it's not, my screen is anti-reflective, there's no background light pollution. Everybody reference to what they see onscreen, not offscreen vs onscreen. It would have been a factor if I didn't spend much time infront of the screen and used bad hardware. The caracteristic of the screen I get at night, with no lights on (no interfering surrounding) is no different than during the day. Yet every X days Colorreal will pop-up and force me to re-caracteristic and won't take no for an answer.

I want my display to be 100% white and have working gamma correction, without nagware.

Any suggs (Gamma tool for WinXP)?

Wow, a reply! I almost gave up hope there :-)

Uhm. Adobe gamma fail on me pretty much 50% of the time at boot; sometimes there's gamma correction, sometimes not. Dunno why. Probably because it doesn't work properly with WinXP.

Coloreal is what Matrox force on it's users. My Parhelia is an excellent piece of hardware. It's just that Matrox are such boneheads when it comes to software (and public realtion), or even supporting their own hardware (as in the case of Coloreal).

ATI also have gamma in the board settings. But I want image quality so I dont see either ATI or Nvidia as real alternatives.
