Resolution

1. Turn your monitor on for at least 30 minutes to allow it to warm up completely.

2. Use the On-Screen Display (OSD) to reset the factory defaults for all settings.

3. Download the most recent version of the i1Profiler software from the X-Rite i1Display Pro support page.

4. Launch the i1Profiler software, ensure Basic is selected in the bottom right, then click Display Profiling at the top left.

5. Select a monitor from the list, ensure White Point is set to CIE Illuminant D65, then for Luminance select Measure…

6. Click Measure to determine the suggested luminance, then click Keep Measurement to use those settings.

7. Click Next, select Adjust brightness, contrast, and RGB gains manually, and click Start Measurement.

8. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust your brightness, contrast, and RGB settings.

9. After completing the measurement and you see the color swatches, click Next to save your monitor profile.

10. Repeat steps 4 through 9 for each additional monitor.

Note: During the color calibration process, you may not be able to adjust all settings exactly as suggested by the software. Adjust all settings to be as close as possible to what the i1Profiler software suggests.

Note: While changing RGB settings, modifying one setting affects all other settings. If the software suggests lowering the Blue settings, but it is maxed out on the monitor OSD, try lowering Red or Green to adjust how the software detects the Blue levels.

Note: Adjusting the brightness settings may be more difficult in brightly lit rooms. Try adjusting all brightness, contrast, and RGB settings in a dark room.
