thanks for the quick reply. i've been closing the window shades which takes the room down to a light level that still allows reading a printed page but well below what one would normally have for reading and then profiling the monitor at that light level.
does the s3e automatically adjust the monitor's white luminance or just "recommend" a value that we need to manually adjust to achieve?
i ask because the display (dell 2408wfp) is still pretty bright.
tnx
