Digital BW, The Print

I worked on profiling my son's Mac some years ago and ran into the issue that Apple didn't have a full range of controls for its monitors.  That really surprised me since the Macs have such a reputation for being graphics pro machines.  If I was buying new I sure wouldn't choose a Mac monitor that didn't have the needed controls.  I imagine the pros use the high bit depth monitors costing into the several thousands.  I'm not sure if Apple has any monitors that compete in that arena.

       Thanks Mr.Brubaker
 I went down to 118 cd. As there is
 no "contrast" button on my iMac, I must rely on
 the "brightness" one.
 I did a calibration at that level
 with my Spyder4. You bet it's dim (even at 118); like
 you said , it's an adaptation process.
 Thanks

     I have my Dell
 2209WA monitor set to 80 cd/M2 and have a pretty good
 relationship between the screen and the print.  When set
 this low your monitor is initially going to look too dim,
 but your eyes will adjust in time.  Also, I found that it
 took at least 55 minutes for the monitor to get to the set
 brightness.  The monitor is an IPS CCFL backlit design that
 was well rated when I bought it 4-5 years ago.  I am curious
 how fast LED backlit monitors reach the set brightness.
 
 
 
 Recommendations I found when searching the net for
 brightness settings ranged between 80 and 120, but at the
 lower end for photo work.
 
 
 
 The i1Display2 software also has you set the monitor's
 contrast all the way up to the highest setting as you start
 the process.
