I’m not surprised by the answers to last week’s poll, How color accurate is your monitor?
About 50% of you are using a color accurate monitor; about 20% of you bought what you thought was a “good” monitor but it doesn’t cover 69% or more of AdobeRGB; and the remaining 30% of you are using the display that came with your computer.
The good thing about this test is there is no wrong answer. As long as you are happy with your results, keep doing what you are doing. I’m not the color police!
But if you are NOT happy with your results, we now have a suspect in our case, and we can see if he’s guilty of crime against the color palette.
This week I want to get to the why of the issue…
Why don’t you have a color accurate monitor?
So, I made another poll. But where we can get the best answers is in the comments section. Vote in the poll, then expand on your vote in the comments section and tell us why. After all, we’re talking about plunking down $900+ for a monitor. Maybe you don’t really think it’s worth it, or you match your inkjet printer fine without it. Whatever it is, here’s your soap box!
