Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response. Just want to
make sure I understand how to measure the candelas of my moniter. I
think I go to tools/coloritmeter and then take a reading. Am I
correct that the CIE xyY is the candela value? If not how do I find
it?
Thats one way to find the current native white luminance...
Mine measures 122. Does that mean that's as bright as my moniter
goes?
If you are using the colorimeter window, and measuring white (255,255,255) that tells you the current native white in little x little y, and the current luminance as well. 122 with the backlight set to max would be correct for some LCDs; for instance, thats all I get on my $7000 Eizo. Newer Cinema Displays are much brighter than this at full backlight, however.
