Anyone here thinks the Radiance is not natural ?

Is there anyone here who thinks the Radiance display is over-saturated and not natural like the Brightviews ?

What would you select for internet browsing and book reading, brightview or Radiance ?

 

I have read reviews that said Radiance was beautiful if somewhat unnatural. But I have yet to see one that panned it altogether because of that. Somehow I wouldn't expect to find many who held that view here, because the board seems to be overrun with Radiance fanaticism. I have never seen such a screen in person, but I really want to.

Should anyone take offense, please note that "overrun" and "fanaticism" are deliberate hyperbole and are not intended as insults.

 

radiance is not true color.

it's overly blue.


there's a color profile to fix that but I'm bad at installing 'em correctly so just..well...left it alone after my clean install.


The reason people like it is that it's bright, one of the rare 1600x900 displays on a 14/15inch computer, etc and so forth.

Download X-rite_9-1-2010_2.icc from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way there's the true color display profile

 

Ok. Here's how you set this up right.

first, right click on the icc file and install profile.

second: X-Rite: Get exactly the color you need, every time, anywhere in the world.

put this in some folder so you can swap between the original and the x-rite one (so you can see difference and choose which you like better).

third. to make it default to the x-rite (or vice versa) follow these steps.

1: open up control panel.

2: type up in the search box (top right) color management. Click on the color management thing that shows up in the box.

3: Go click on the advanced tab. go click on change system defaults.

4: This box will look exactly the same as the old box, but this is the system defaults box, changes will actually stick on reboot now. Click on add, find the x-rite.icc profile and add it.

5: go to the advanced tab. For the device profile pull down list, change it to the x-rite profile (change it away from sRGB IEC61966-2.1, which is the default color profile for this computer).

To make it boot with the default one, again just change this back.

6: Click the "Use Windows display calibration" check box (make it checked)

7: click close. click close again.

8: go pick the x-rite one from the display profile program. it should now default to the x-rite display profile on boot.

 

Thanks for the link to the profile!

Question though...do I want the "Use Windows display calibration" check box to be checked or unchecked for the natural color profile?

 

you want it checked.

 

It will only stick if running on ATI graphics when windows loads (i.e. you're plugged in).

After a ton of messing around with it and lots of googling, it appears the Intel graphics drivers interfere with the windows color profile management.

I use the DisplayProfile app to correct when necessary on Intel graphics. It's only an extra 4 clicks every now and then.

 

this is the 1st thing i noticed ,blues are over saturated even the dead pixels are complete blue .

 

anyone wanna do a before and after to show the difference please?
