6500K or 9300K

[okn]

Hello there,
I just bought a new Viewsonic VX20WM widescreen. It's ok but text is no good.
Anyway, in color settings, i don't know which color should i choose.
Which one is the good one ? 9300K or 6500K ?

I use 6500k on my VP191b the 9300k just seems to blue.

I always use 9300k, it just looks correct to me, 6500k to me looks dull and the colours are just wrong.

you should use 9300k only when your under flouresant lighting, 6500 is more natural and you do get use to it.

I don't particularly like either of them.

I use 87/94/100 (R/G/B) on my VX2025wm.

I use 6500k on my CRT which is actually the NTSC standard. 9300k is far to blue IMO.

"One of the most important components of professional TV service--and one that definitely requires special gear--is grayscale calibration. This procedure equalizes the color of gray at various light levels, from very dark to very bright, at the NTSC standard color temperature (a.k.a. white balance) of 6,500 degrees Kelvin, or D6500K. DVDs are created to be displayed at that color temperature, so if your TV is set to 6,500K, you're that much closer to seeing the image the director intended."

6500k

It'll look odd at first but you'll get used to it.

I use 6500K on my Viewsonic VX922
Use 9300K if you have flouresant lights, otherwise use 6500K (or what looks better to you )

Unless you are doing graphics/design production work and need output to be an exact color, go with whatever looks better.

I prefer 9300K myself, 6500K is way too yellow and muddy.
