Re: [SPAM][Digital BW] Re: Calibrating a laptop display

2008-05-04 by Richard Smallfield

Hi Mr Tobie - thanks so much for that - you're a mine of information.

Another question for you: i1 Match recommends 100cd/m2 for CRT but only 90cd/m2 for laptops - why is this? Surely it's only the display brightness in relation to ambient light that is the determinant of the correct luminance?

thanks,
Richard
