HP ZR30W calibration

[3d_compos]

Monitor: HP ZR30W
Display card: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 590 3072MB
X-Rite i1Display2 colorimeter


Hello,

I have HP ZR30W monitor (30 inch) . As you know this model lacks on-screen menu.

1) I've read that all of the monitor parameters can be set within display card's settings. Do they mean Brightness and Constrast and all the other parameters typically found in on-screen menu? What program should I install and use for that purpose?

2) I'm going to calibrate the monitor. What settings (eg. for brightness) should I use (I don't have a menu so how to set the brightness precisely)? Is there any tutorial?

The monitor is connected through DisplayPort.

1) Look in your video card's settings menu (ie. Catalyst Control Center for AMD cards, Control Panel for nV, etc.).

2) A google on that colorimeter suggests it has push button calibration, brightness should be set too by that thing AFAIK. I'm not sure if you have to do anything at all. If you still want to do some stuff manually though I don't have a good calibration config. guide off hand. Anyone else have one?

I am assuming the zr30 is like the lp3065 and 3007s in that it has brightness buttons and nothing else?

If so, pick a target screen brightness (I used 140 cd/m2) and try to adjust your monitor brightness to be slightly more. Then skip all the sections in the calibration software that relate to color balance or contrast and let the profile do that work. I haven't used the i1 software in a long time - let me know if these instructions don't make sense.
