green cast

2009-10-01 by christianwesterlund

I've recently bought spyder3 pro, and I i've calibrated monitor several times now, with different set-ups, different sofware versions ( i first installed the latest one from your site, then i uninstalled it and tried the one that was in the CD bundled with spyder3. NOTHING seems to work I keep getting this strong green cast.

My monitor has these:
-RBG sliders
-contrast
-brightness

I've tried it with telling the software:
-I have rgb sliders and backlight
-I have rgb sliders and contrast + brightness
-I have rgb sliders and back light contrast and brightness (this one with the 3.04)
-I have no rgb sliders, no contrast, no brightness and backlight only

With all these setups i've tried following preset targets:
2.2 6500
2.2 6500 LCD
2.2 Native

Nothing, and nothign seems to work and I keep getting this green cast. I know some people have said that the get shocked after the calibration results, as they've been used to blue tint, but this is just something else. The grays are green-gray, the blues are lighter blues, and the color magenta is almost inexistant ( i really have to pump up the colour balance to magenta in ps if i want it ) and this calibration matches my prints even worse than the old one ( that was on uncalibrated monitor ).

Any ideas?
