I have 5343K when I use my father's RGB settings (wich give him 6500k)
I can obtain 6500k, but I have to use RGB settings like R32 G22 B97,
but, as I said, I have blue highlights instead of neutral...
I have to assume these numbers are from some type of on-screen RGB gains adjustments? Most LCDs don't offer such adjustments, and not all the ones that do are very effective, which is why the Spyder2 products suggest its best to set these adjustments to factory defaults and calibrate without tweeking them...
I hope it's better now :-)
In spyder2 software, I see it : "2.2, native"
Right, native means: don't change the hardware whitepoint, whatever it may be..."
But in my sceen settings, I only have srgb, 9300k, 7500k, 6500k,
5400k, 5000k and "user defined".
Setting the hardware option to 6500, then using Native whitepoint in our software would be one good option...
If I reset the screen config, it
automatically set it on 6500k.
Good!
Is it the native whitepoint value ?
Its the default value, and native will leave it there. One CRTs you would have wanted to use User defined, and tune the RGB gain settings; on an LCD (particularly one thats not a high end big bucks LCD) its certainly easiest, and probably best, to set it to the desired whitepoint with the hardware control, then use Native in the software. Try that, and get back to us.
