NEC 2490wuxi calibration?

[2string]

I have the spectraview II software and the X-rite puck. I just re-calibrated my monitor and everything turned pink. It's been about 4 months since the last calibration. What happen? What should I set the calibration target at? It's been awhile. Thanks

Pink? I would first check your monitor's color temperature (white point) before you look at your calibration settings. D65 which is 6500K would be recommended. After you ensure you have set your monitor to D65 then you can include D65 in your target settings.
=======================================================================

These are my 2690Wuxi Spectra II X-rite settings which should be fine for the 2490Wuxi.
You can always make some minor tweaks later.

SpectraView II Preferences

Tab: Calibration
Sensor / Sensor type - None - Auto-Detect / [check mark] Average low luminance measurement

Tab: Calibration
Calibration and Profile steps/ 32 (Default)
Recalibration Reminder Period / 2 weeks [my choice]
[enabled] Maximum Contrast Ratio
[disabled] Best grayscale color tracking
[disabled] Extended luminance stabilization time

================================================

Under "Edit Calbration Target" this is what is showing. Note White Point and D65.

White Point
D65
Color Temp: K
Intensity: Maximum Possible
Contrast Ratio (Black Level)

[Make sure the gamma curve button is enabled ] Gamma Curve Value 2.20

For everyday viewing select the Broadcast Video as your choice of target type.

Hope that helps,

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I checked all settings and I'm pretty sure their correct. Everything looks over saturated. Colors are extremely strong and all white subjects look pink or magenta. When I go back to the previous calibration,it looks good again. I wonder if my puck is pucked up.

Did you take the white protective lid off of the calibration puck? Just checking ...

 

[gellis1]

Yes this is not my first time calibrating. Should I check the ambient light measurement every time?

I've never tried an ambient light measurement.

What are your calibration settings? 6500K should have a slight red tint, but not pink or purple. As in, you shouldn't notice it but in reality white is ever so slightly biased to red.

Try 6800K, 1.8 gamma, default contrast, 180 cd.

Calibration shouldn't affect saturation levels.
