Re: [datacolor_group] candelas?

It would have been 120 cd/m2 ("one hundred twenty"), not 20 ("twenty"). :-)

Are you SURE he said "20"??? That's very, very, very DARK!

Most people shoot for about 120cd/m2 (One Hundred Twenty cd/m2 --not Twenty). There is a section during the calibration/recalibration process that allows you to tweak your monitor settings--usually via the monitor's On Screen Display via the "Brightness" settings--and part of that process does display the cd/m2 for the particular settings.
