    And it is exteremely important if you want a calibrated photography workflow and match your monitor brightness to your printer output. Unless you have an unlimited supply of paper and ink! ;) BJB

    Blackbird, Very bizarre. I can only verify that Spyder 2 pro version 2.3.5 on Vista 64 allows you to set both. However it looks like they totally revamped the software for 3. I would want to be able to set luminance and black point myself but that is your call. BJB

    Balckbird, If you use the ZR for photography work, the recommended luminance setting for any LCD is either 120cd/m^2 or 90cd/m^2 depending on who you talk to. The goal here is to match your LCD to what you print from a color and brightness standpoint. If that is not your goal, most people do...

    The cleartype color issues I was seeing were made worse by having my Sharpness set to 5. If I recall the default is 4....back on 4, the effect is lessened. (Edit:Changing the fontsmoothing value to 1400 hex helps a lot!) To get the best sharpeness, what is the right combination of settings...

    Thanks. I finally found the registry settings and they were set correctly. If you don't see the color aberrations with very small black lettering on a white background (my two "ll's next to each other on this post look like Christmas trees with a green ghost if I look closely), "r" and "h"...

    Sure, no problem: Brightness 10 Cont 55 Red 255 Green 187 Blue 222 Of course as I am sure you are aware, with different video cards and monitor samples, your results will not be identical. But it will give you a sense. Good luck. Still need to play with cleartype. I guess if it is...

    Thanks for the input that it is not IPS-specific. If someone that has a ZR24W could take a look at what I describe that would be great. I did not install the HP Display assistant nor do I have any other utility that writes to the LUT other than the Spyder one at bootup. And every time your...

    I just received my ZR24W a few days ago and starting to use it. I have never used an IPS panel so that might explain my question. I am running Vista 64 with cleartype turned on which has always been my setup for LCD's. When I am viewing text....say for example the text on this forum, I see...

    Seagate 7200.11's in the wild?

    FWIW my 7200.11 (500GB) does not report the cache correctly either. I assume this is a reporting issue and does not affect performance? When running in SATA I mode, would these numbers be what is expected in HD Tune? Transfer rate min: 50.6MB/sec Transfer rate max: 98.6 MB/sec Average...
