Topic says most of it.
The error is GammaTracker.cpp 636 1248 (0x4E0)
It pops up pretty much every time I turn my monitor on.
Using Sypder5Pro.
Edit: Should also add that from my perspective my monitor seems to have a bit of a yellow tinge to it after calibration.
Thanks
Hi,
The error is GammaTracker.cpp 636 1248 (0x4E0)
I don’t know what GammaTracker.cpp is, it seems to part of the Spyder software. I would recommend uninstalling it.
Edit: Should also add that from my perspective my monitor seems to have a bit of a yellow tinge to it after calibration.
That’s not unusual, some monitors have a very “cool” white point before calibration (say, 9000K correlated color temperature), so if you calibrate to e.g. the common 6500K, this will seem warmer in comparison.
Thanks.
Three follow up questions.
- Don’t I need the Spyder software?
- The screen also seems dark a bit, so I upped the brightness a little. Is that OK?
- I think I already have the screen set to “cool” because that was the closest white point to what it asked for. Can I fix the yellow by lowering the R and G values a bit?
Thanks again!
Don’t I need the Spyder software?
If you’re using DisplayCAL, the Spyder software is not needed unless you plan to switch.
The screen also seems dark a bit, so I upped the brightness a little. Is that OK?
That should be ok, but please note that any changes made via the display OSD require re-calibration.
Can I fix the yellow by lowering the R and G values a bit?
If you feel the screen is still too warm even after letting your eyes adapt for several minutes, you can calibrate to a higher color temperature (or use “As measured” and adjust the white point visually). Also make sure to use the correct measurement mode for your backlight type (probably “White LED”).
